At this salary you're likely making repayments, but whether overpaying helps depends on your repayment plan, future earnings and whether you're likely to clear the loan anyway.
Your repayment plan, balance and future earnings all influence the final outcome.
Savings can provide flexibility and solve problems that overpayments cannot.
A higher salary later can completely change whether overpaying becomes worthwhile.
Around this salary, student loan repayments often become noticeable enough that many people start wondering whether they should pay extra.
But today's salary is only part of the story. If your income grows over the coming years, your repayments will grow too, potentially changing your long-term outcome.
That's why £30,000 is best thought of as a checkpoint rather than a decision in itself.
A £30k salary tells you where you are today. Your future earnings often tell you where you'll finish.
