When giving us your estimates, think about:
working overtime or extra hours

pay rises, bonuses or redundancy pay
changing jobs or returning to work
having any new income from business or
self-employment
having any new income from taxable state benefits

Do I need to do anything else?
Yes, but not just now. After tax year 2020-21 has ended, we’ll contact you and ask you to conrm your
actual earnings for that tax year. You’ll also need to send evidence of it.
These evidence items will be the same documents that you send to, or receive from, HM Revenue &
Customs. For example, a P60, SA200 or Self Assessed Tax Return.
Future years
If you’re awarded a current year income assessment, we’ll use your nalised 2020-21 household
income to work out how much the student can get if they apply for funding based on household
income for their next academic year(s). If your income falls by a further 15% or more, you can apply
for another current year income assessment.
