Description
You can use the following online calculator to estimate how one specific carbon tax proposal would impact you and your household financially. The specific proposal, from CarbonWA.org, would impose a carbon tax and use the revenues to reduce sales taxes and business taxes, and to fund a Working Families Rebate for low-income households. This website is not intended to advocate for or against this policy, but to provide an unbiased estimate of the impacts of the policy. It will show you an estimate of the amount of money you would save from the reduced sales tax and the Working Families Rebate. It will also show you an estimate of the amount you would pay from the new tax on the burning of fossil fuels, from activities such as driving a vehicle, flying on an airplane, and powering and heating your home. Most users should be able to complete this calculator in about 10 minutes.
The calculator for businesses is coming soon!
