HESLB loan repayment calculator
If you have a loan from the Higher Education Students' Loans Board, your employer deducts a share of your basic salary each month.
Enter your basic salary and, if you know it, the balance still to repay.
How it's calculated
- The monthly deduction is 15% of your basic salary.
- Dividing the balance by the deduction gives the months left, if your salary and the balance stay the same.
