You have children and hope that they will want to attend University, you will not have the recent changes in the cost of the University fees have missed. This article explains how you can get some financial planning for College fees.
New University fees
The new rules come in from September 2012, and after that date apply to new students.
Universities can charge up to 9, 000 per year for course fees.
Student loans are available to cover the cost of the fees.
You can also for a loan to cover the cost of living applied:
5, 500 per year if you live away from home and at a university or college outside London 7, 675 per year studying when you're away from home life and at a university or College in London 4, 375 per year studying at home do you live
So, if your University is the maximum amount costs outside London, you would be able to build up loans of 43, 500 (in today's terms) If you are on a course of 3 years.
If your family income is less than 42, costs 600 that you apply for a living can grant, who does not have to be repaid. You will be entitled to a full subsidy of 3, 250 in 2012/13 if your household income is 25, 000 or below. You will be entitled to a partial subsidy if your income is between 25 and 42, 000, 600.
Interest on the loans tuition
Interest on the loan is expected to range of inflation, inflation increased by 3%, with higher incomes pay higher interest rates. After 30 years, is unpaid debts written off.
There is much debate about the fairness (or otherwise of the new rules). The Government has stated that because students will not repay loans back until they earn above certain thresholds, the rules are fair. However, this ignores the foundations of compound interest. If you have a loan over a longer period of time to pay, you will end up paying even more back if the interest for a longer time so good works. It is not enough just to focus on the monthly repayments. All this means that if your child has a loan to pay back their university fees, she with a financial debt for many years to come will end, which will undoubtedly have an impact on their ability to plan for their future.
Figures for BBC the estimate that many graduates who do not earn high salaries will end up taking up to 30 years to repay their loans, and will ultimately pay double what they borrowed calculated.
Financial planning for College fees
Of course, most parents would want to do something to the plan for the University costs, required to prevent their children with a mountain of debt.
So how much would you need to save now for the construction of a suitable Education Fund for your child?
We have for these calculations that your savings at 6% after expenses are growing, and inflation assumed a constant 3%. We have also assumed that you need for 9, 000 per year tuition costs, and 6, 000 per year cost of living to finance. Of course, the reality would be very different at these figures, and 6, 000 per year cost of living may not even cover rent.
If your child is born (18 years until they attend university) has just been, you should start saving 197 per month per child.
If your child is now 5, this would rise to 280 per month.
If your child is now 10, this would increase to 462 per month.
The message of this is that the sooner you can afford to start with financial planning for your child University fees, the better.
