Welsh Government Maintains Student Loan Repayment Thresholds

The Welsh Government has confirmed that the income threshold for Plan 2 student loan repayments will remain frozen at £29,385 for the financial years 2027-28 to 2029-30. This decision mirrors the UK Government's freeze for English Plan 2 borrowers, ensuring Welsh borrowers begin repayments at the same income level for the next three years. This impacts student loan affordability for many graduates.
