Student loans FAQs

How do I set up student loans?

A button for student loans has been added to the tax and NI card in the employee's record. To start deducting a student loan from an employee, click on the student loan button. There are two ways in which you can start to deduct a student loan:

  • If you get a start or stop notice from HMRC, complete the Start Date and End Date fields. The loan will then be deducted automatically during any payroll run between these dates
  • If an employee gives you a P45 that tells you that he/she already has a student loan in operation tick Continue Student Loan?


Please note:
student loans will not be deducted if the employee's earnings are below the Student Loan Threshold which is currently £15,000.


Do I need to set up a payment for student loans?

No, there is a student loans section in the employee's record card. Go to the Tax/NI tab and enter the details here.


Will student loans appear on my year-to-date summary?
