Income for Student Loan
If you get any income, it could affect when you have to start paying back your loan.
Important information
You need to start making payments to your Student Loan once you earn over $22,828 before tax a year (or $439 a week before tax).
Your Student Loan isn't affected by any income you earn.
But you'll need to start paying it back when you earn over $22,828 before tax a year (or $439 a week before tax) even if you're still studying.
You may be able to apply for a repayment deduction exemption from Inland Revenue if you're:
- still studying
- earning more than $439 before tax on some weeks, but less than $22,828 before tax over the year.
