How much will I get to live on as a student?

The Maintenance Loan is means-tested, which means the amount you’ll get to live on will depend on your household income, as well as where you’re going to live while you’re a student. There’s a calculator available which will tell you how much you’ll get to live on each year.

The maximum amount that students who live away from home can receive is £10,544, and £8,877 if they're living at home (with parents). You can find out how miuch Maintenance Loan you’ll get here.
