Footnotes
- Coverage: Undergraduate borrowers who received loans as English domiciled students studying in the UK or as EU domiciled students studying in England.
- Figures have been rounded to the nearest 1%.
- All changes are assumed to begin in financial year 2023-24.
- In the repayment threshold scenarios the threshold is assumed to be £1,000 lower/higher in 2023-24 (i.e. £26,295 or £28,295 for Plan 2), before growing in line with average earnings growth in subsequent years in line with the current policy.
- This table demonstrates how sensitive the RAB charges are to various policy parameters. The size of the impacts presented here only applies to the figures shown and the results are not linear; that is if the size of the variation was doubled then the impact would not necessarily be double that shown.
- Differences in the impacts between different loan products in the same scenario may be due to differences in the loan policy or differences in the characteristics of the borrowers with each type of loan.
