Show HN: PolicyEngine, a FOSS web app that computes the impact of public policy

3 pointsby MaxGhenisover 2 years ago
PolicyEngine simulates tax and benefit policies. Users can enter their household information in rich detail (hundreds of variables), and we estimate their taxes and benefits; they can also design a custom policy reform from hundreds of parameters and we estimate the impact on society (poverty, inequality, and the budget) and their own household. It&#x27;s free, open source, and mobile friendly, and operates in the US and the UK.<p>We just launched a major update where we rewrote everything but the rules engine, and fully launched PolicyEngine US (previously beta).<p>US launch post: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;policyengine.org&#x2F;us&#x2F;blog&#x2F;the-new-policyengine" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;policyengine.org&#x2F;us&#x2F;blog&#x2F;the-new-policyengine</a><p>US 15-second video: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;8lpXRppeq_U" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;8lpXRppeq_U</a><p>US post on using PolicyEngine to model a Child Tax Credit reform: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;policyengine.org&#x2F;us&#x2F;blog&#x2F;from-idea-to-impact-scoring-a-policy-reform-on-the-new-policyengine-us" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;policyengine.org&#x2F;us&#x2F;blog&#x2F;from-idea-to-impact-scoring...</a>
