Student Loan Calculation

I am using QB Advanced Payroll and have been informed by HMRC that one of my employees has to start paying a plan 2 student loan.

I have ticked the student loan box under 'Tax and NI Details' for the employee, but I can't find any instructions anywhere for what else I need to do.  I clicked on 'Pay Run Inclusions' for the employee and then on 'HMRC Adjustments' where I found 'student loan' so I thought that I must need to enter more details there.  However, the only options for deduction are 'Fixed', 'Percentage of Gross', 'Percentage of Pensionable Earnings', 'Percentage of Taxable Earnings', and 'Percentage of NIable Earnings'.  None of these are in line with Plan 2 guidelines which say the amount to be deducted should be 9% of earnings above the threshold of £524 per week or £2274 per week.

I'm obviously missing something but this is the first time I've dealt with a student loan.  Can anybody please tell me how to enter the details so that QB calculates the student loan correctly?

Thanks

Vicky

Student Loan Calculation

Hello, VGG-Accounting. 

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. On QuickBooks, you only need to select if they are on Plan 1, or Plan 2 for their student loan. Open the Employee Details by double clicking on the employee, and under the Tax & National insurance section there's a tick box for Student Loan, and a setting to choose which Plan they are on.

 

The deductions will happen automatically based on their wages.

 

I've added these links for more details about payroll: Add or customise deductions in QuickBooks Standard Online Payroll. 

 

For future reference, read through this article to learn about managing your payroll account and employees effectively: QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll Hub.  

 

I'm just around if you need my help. Just tag me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Stays safe!
