It's a common misconception that you only start paying your Hecs debt once you graduate. In fact, you start paying it the moment your income goes over the threshold. If you're just over the cut-off, you will have to pay 1% of your total income. And that's pre-tax, not after.
Is HECS repayment based on taxable income?
It is calculated as: your taxable income for an income year, plus. your total net investment losses, plus. any total reportable fringe benefit amounts shown on your Income Statement; plus.
Is HECS an upfront expense?
If you are eligible for HECS-HELP and you make a full upfront payment to your provider of 90% of your student contribution for your unit/s of study, or a partial upfront payment to your provider of $500 or more for your unit/s of study, you will receive a 10 per cent discount. This is known as the 'HECS-HELP discount'.
