Hi DTR_LTD,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the Community Forum ! This Help Article IRD letter for varying student loan repayment rate (SLCIR) has information and instructions on how to calculate the new rate in your software.
I hope this helps, do let me know how you go.

Hi DTR_LTD,
Apologies I've misunderstood your question. I've spoken to our payroll team and they've advised that Essentials doesn't have the ability to manually override the amount for student loan calculations, you would need to calculate the amount as a percentage to enter into the student loan calculations. More information on this is available on this Help Article.
