The calculator applies the selected route to the agreed price up to the band and adds any above-band price to the employer contribution. Earlier starts and specific exceptions remain on their applicable rules.
Funding band rules to know
- The funding band caps the account or government contribution, not the commercial price. The employer pays any price above the band from other funds.
- For new starts from 1 August 2026, a levy employer with insufficient account funds pays 25% up to the band.
- For new starts from 1 August 2026, a non-levy employer pays 5% for an apprentice aged 25+; eligible starts aged 16–24 are government-funded up to the band.
- Assessment arrangements and costs must match the exact approved standard version and sit within the overall funding maximum.
- Earlier starts normally keep their original rule version. Check the current official rules before quoting.
