This calculator is for students living in England starting a new undergraduate course in academic years:

- 2024 to 2025
- 2025 to 2026
You'll need to [check if you're eligible for tuition fees and living costs (full support) or tuition fee-only funding before you start](https://www.gov.uk/student-finance/who-qualifies).

^ You cannot use the calculator if you’re [a student from Scotland](https://www.saas.gov.uk/), [a student from Wales](https://www.studentfinancewales.co.uk/) or [a student from Northern Ireland](https://www.studentfinanceni.co.uk/).

Use this calculator to estimate:

- how much student loan you could get
- extra funding, for example if you’re disabled or have children

Your result will be more accurate if you know your annual household income (your parents’ or partner’s income plus your own).

## Before you start

<% govspeak_for :post_body do %>
You must check what loans you’re eligible for before you start.

If you’re a part-time student you’ll need to know how many credits you’ll study and how many credits a full-time student would study.

You cannot use the calculator if you’re from [Scotland](http://www.saas.gov.uk/), [Wales](http://www.studentfinancewales.co.uk/) or [Northern Ireland](http://www.studentfinanceni.co.uk/).
<% end %>
To use the calculator, you need to know what [type of funding you’re eligible for](/student-finance/who-qualifies) (Tuition Fee Loan and Maintenance Loan or Tuition Fee Loan only).

If you're eligible for a Maintenance Loan, you'll need to know your annual household income (your parents’ or partner’s income plus your own).

If you’re a part-time student, you'll also need to know how many credits you’ll study and how many credits a full-time student would study.
