How it works

01

Enter your income

Pick your bracket and filing status. We estimate your federal income tax in real dollars — no login, no W-2 required.

02

Allocate your budget

Drag sliders across 14 federal spending categories. Every dollar you move is a dollar you redirect from the actual budget.

03

See the results

Compare your choices to the real federal budget and to what everyone else would fund. The gaps are the story.

Every year, Congress allocates trillions of dollars on your behalf. This year, we’re asking what would happen if, for five minutes, you decided how to spend your tax dollars.
