Not sure if your maintenance loan will actually cover rent? You are not alone. The amounts change each year, and many students apply without knowing what to expect. 💰
For 2026/27, the maximum maintenance loan is £13,348 if you study in London and live away from home. Outside London, the top figure is £10,544. If you live at home, it drops to £8,877. The exact amount you receive depends on your household income: the lower it is, the closer you get to the maximum.
These are the confirmed 2026/27 thresholds from Student Finance England. Your actual figure takes about two minutes to calculate. See what you are entitled to at unistart.app/funding
