if anyone cares, I was part of the first cohort to take up a plan 2 student loan, meaning I am personally affected by RPI being used to calculate the interest rate (as many others are). I will probably never pay it off as I owe more now than I did 10-11 years ago 🀠

3) the point of the analysis is to highlight how sensitive calculations are to the choice of baseline and inflation measure used. Our piece is not to be used to assess what we think the pay settlement should be.

2) we used average levels of CPI and RPI measures of inflation across financial years. This differs from what the BMA used in their 2022 calculations - RPI at year-end. I'm unable to find a more recent methodology doc www.bma.org.uk/media/6134/b...

I've received a few questions on this, so will clarify: 1) this uses - where possible - average uplifts from pay awards, as per the 2022 BMA calculations. But it does not include the big hike to basic pay as per the 2016 contract (while pay for unsocial hours went down).
