Staying at your parents' house to save money? Student Finance may give you less than you expect because of it. 💰

For 2026/27, students living at the family home are capped at £9,118 in maintenance loan, compared to £10,830 for those renting outside London. The band is set by where you sleep during term-time, not by what you pay in rent. And the amount tapers down further if your household income rises above £25,000.

A mature student and a parent sit together at a kitchen table in a modest UK home, looking over printed financial documents. The scene is lit by soft afternoon light coming through a net-curtained window, giving the room warm, natural tones. The mood is calm and focused, with a sense of quiet problem-solving rather than stress. Aspect ratio 16:9 horizontal, suitable for a 1200x630 Facebook feed post. Photorealistic editorial photography style, not illustrated.
