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>
The estimate of the RAB charge referenced in the question appears to have been taken from the 2014 Institute for Fiscal Studies report on \u201cEstimating the public cost of student loans\u201d. However, the most recently published Institute for Fiscal Studies report of July 2017 has updated this estimate to 31.3%. This is broadly similar to the Government\u2019s estimate of the RAB charge at around 30% for full time tuition fee and maintenance loans and part time fee loans issued in 2016/17.<\/p>

The most recent Institute for Fiscal Studies report (\u201cHigher Education funding in England: past, present and options for the future\u201d) of July 2017 states that the long run cost of the 2017 system in 2017 is £5.9 billion, 35% lower than the £9.0 billion that is the equivalent cost of the 2011 system.<\/p>
<\/p>
The figure of 5% was in a 2014 report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies.<\/p>
