                    Does anyone know how the interest is calculated on a student loan? I still paying off mine, Plan 1 (England). The interest is 6.5%. Wondering how long it will be before its paid off. Thanks.

Interest on plan 1 is the March RPI inflation rate but capped at the Bank of England rate +1%. So it's currently 6.25% as the Bank of England rate is 5.25% and the March 2023 RPI rate was 13.5%.Pingu1 said:Does anyone know how the interest is calculated on a student loan?
