The change of interest rate for post-1998 students won't affect how much they pay back through PAYE (9% of gross salary and bonuses over £15000) each month, it will just increase the interest that builds up on the outstanding balance. Graduates will just be paying back for longer. Hopefully the BoE base rate will stay low and the SLC interest rate for post-1998 loans will stay around 1-2% for the year from September.
Not sure how it would affect payments for pre-1998 loans.
