## Post (EN)

If you have been searching whether UK student finance counts as "real debt", the answer most people give is too simple.

Yes, it is technically debt. But it does not behave like a credit card, an overdraft, or a personal loan. For new starters in 2026/27 you are on Plan 5: a £25,000 repayment threshold, 9% on anything above that, interest at RPI only, and whatever is not repaid after 40 years is written off.

On a £30,000 salary that works out at roughly £37.50 a month. Interest is added to the total balance, not on top of the monthly amount taken from your pay. The balance can grow, but the monthly cost is set by your salary, not by the balance.

So the more useful question is not "is this debt?" It is "what does it actually cost me each month in my earning band?" That is the answer worth focusing on.

Full plain-English guide, with what is confirmed for Plan 5 in 2026/27: link in the first comment.

Dacă te-ai întrebat dacă împrumutul studențesc din UK e "datorie reală", răspunsul pe care îl auzi de obicei e prea simplist.

Da, e datorie tehnic. Dar nu funcționează ca un card de credit, un descoperit de cont, sau un împrumut personal. Pentru cei care încep în 2026/27 ești pe Plan 5: prag de rambursare £25,000, 9% peste prag, dobândă doar RPI, și ce nu e plătit după 40 de ani se șterge.

La un salariu de £30,000 asta înseamnă aproximativ £37.50 pe lună. Dobânda se adaugă la soldul total, nu peste suma care îți pleacă lunar din salariu. Soldul poate crește, dar costul lunar e setat de salariul tău, nu de sold.

Întrebarea mai utilă nu e "e datorie?". E "cât mă costă concret pe lună la salariul meu?". Acolo e răspunsul pe care merită să te concentrezi.
