Student Loan Calculator

The Dominion Post reports over a million ‘hits’ within 12 hours for National’s tax cuts calculator.

The student loan calculator on National’s site under-estimates significantly the benefits for students, as it assumes you will stay on the same income level. My own calculator in excel allows students to set a number of variables to see how much better off they will be with National’s package. Your loan has to get to be over $150,000 almost to do better with Labour.
