PolicyEngine Launches Revolutionary Public Policy Analysis Tool in the US

PolicyEngine US, the free and open-source tool that calculates the impact of economic policy reforms, launches in the United States. This innovative web application is the first and only product that allows anyone to estimate their taxes and benefits, then design custom policy reforms and estimate how they affect society and households.

The PolicyEngine US web app allows users to modify hundreds of parameters that characterize existing laws. The tool then estimates the impact of those changes on customizable households, as well as society-wide outcomes like poverty, inequality, and the budget. It operates on any device and requires no technical knowledge.
