Footnotes
- Lifetime earnings are considered as all earnings between SRDD and 50 years after SRDD, normalised using average earnings growth indices.
- Years liable to repay measures the time between SRDD and either loan write-off or the loan being fully repaid
- Values in 2021-22 prices have been calculated using OBR forecasts for RPI.
- Where you see the symbol 'z' this refers to not applicable.
- Plan 2 loans were introduced in place of Plan 1 loans for new entrants to higher education from August 2012. Part-time higher education fee loans were introduced at the same time and part-time maintenance loans were introduced in August 2018.
- Loan borrowers normally becomes liable to begin repaying a loan at the start of the tax year (6 April) after graduating or otherwise leaving their course, this point is known as their Statutory Repayment Due Date (SRDD). After their SRDD, borrowers are required to make repayments if their income is above the repayment threshold.
- Coverage: Borrowers who received loans as English domiciled students studying in the UK or as EU domiciled students studying in England
- Plan 2 figures include full time and part time Plan 2 loans. Similarly Plan 5 figures include full time and part time Plan 5 loans.
- Averages are taken over loans (rather than over borrowers)
- For higher earnings deciles the Plan 5 figures for 'proportion of outlay repaid in real terms' slightly exceed 100% even though interest is set in line with RPI since the interest is set to RPI on a 1 year lag whereas discounting is based on unlagged RPI.
- Monetary figures have been rounded to the nearest £100.
