answer text <p>The Resource Accounting and Budgeting (RAB) charge estimates the value of loans that will not be repaid during their 30-year term. This is usually expressed as a percentage of the loan outlay made in the relevant year.</p><p> </p><p>The estimate of the RAB charge referenced in the question appears to have been taken from the 2014 Institute for Fiscal Studies report on “Estimating the public cost of student loans”. However, the most recently published Institute for Fiscal Studies report of July 2017 has updated this estimate to 31.3%.
