This calculator needs JavaScript. The worked examples are in Appendix E.7 of the book.
| Piece of the plan | Included? | Source and treatment |
|---|---|---|
| National Health Guarantee financing | Yes | Appendix E.7 conventions: household contribution above 200% of poverty; 4.512% employer contribution attributed to workers in the long run; KFF 2025 premiums. |
| Universal child allowance | Yes, net | Chapter 19: $300/month under 6, $250/month ages 6–17, minus the 2025 Child Tax Credit it replaces. |
| Child care 7% cap | Yes | Chapter 24 cap; the zero-to-7% sliding scale is a website schedule that reproduces the book's $80,000 and $35,000 examples. |
| Work and Security Credit / EITC | No | The book sets a phase-out ceiling (20%) but not a full benefit schedule, so no dollar figure is invented. |
| General-fund revenue measures | No | Concentrated on capital income, large estates, corporations, and tax preferences; household amounts need data on income sources the calculator does not collect. |
| Baseline-repair VAT | Optional | Appendix E.9 illustrative design with a per-person rebate; off by default because it is a baseline-repair option, not part of the core package. |
