We will check your income to decide how much ABSTUDY Living Allowance you can get.
Personal income is your gross income. This is the income you get before any deductions, like tax.
The amount you earn can affect how much we pay you.
| Fortnightly income | Effect on payment |
|---|---|
| $509 or less | None |
| Between $509 and $610 | Reduced by 50 cents for every dollar over $509 |
| $610 or more | Reduced by $50.50, plus 60 cents for every dollar over $610 |
If you have an Income Bank balance you can earn more without affecting your payment.
