PolicyEngine UK

UK-specific facts for the PolicyEngine Python stack. Read the policyengine skill first for the canonical import policyengine as pe interface, the population flow (ensure_datasets / Simulation / economic_impact_analysis), the MicroSeries discipline, and dataset handling — this skill only carries what is different about the UK.

Verified against policyengine 4.21.0 + policyengine-uk 2.89.2 + policyengine-core 3.30.0 (2026-07). UK examples are not in the [us]-only CI verify set, so they carry no <!-- verify --> marker; each was run manually in a policyengine[uk] environment.

Setup

The UK model is an extra — bare policyengine installs no country model:

uv pip install "policyengine[uk]"   # UK model + certified UK data bundle metadata

Household calculations need no data download. Population runs need the UK dataset, which is a private Hugging Face repo — see "Population data" below.

Entity model — and the benunit trap

UK entities are person → benunit → household. There is no tax_unit and no spm_unit / marital_unit / family — those are US entities. The single most common UK mistake is reaching for result.tax_unit out of US habit; on a UK result it raises AttributeError (verified: a UK result has person, benunit, household and no tax_unit).

ConceptUS entityUK entity
Means-tested assessment unittax_unit (+ spm_unit)benunit (benefit unit)
Statistical unit for povertyspm_unit / householdhousehold
Individualpersonperson

A benefit unit is a single adult or a couple plus their dependent children — the DWP assessment unit for means-tested benefits (Universal Credit, Pension Credit, etc.). One household can contain several benunits (e.g. adult children living with parents). Read means-tested benefits at the benunit level, income tax and NI at the person level, and net income and poverty at the household level.

Household calculations

pe.uk.calculate_household mirrors the US call (keyword-only, year defaults to 2026), but results are read on UK entities. Access is dot-attribute on singular entities; only result.person is a list.

import policyengine as pe

r = pe.uk.calculate_household(
    people=[{"age": 35, "employment_income": 50_000}],
    year=2026,
)
assert round(r.person[0].income_tax) == 7_486
assert round(r.person[0].national_insurance) == 2_994
assert round(r.household.hbai_household_net_income) == 39_520

Net income comes in two conventions: hbai_household_net_income follows the DWP Households Below Average Income definition (the one PolicyEngine reports, and what the poverty measures below use); household_net_income is the plain accounting definition. Prefer the HBAI variable for anything compared against official UK statistics.

Benefit-unit variables read off benunit (a family with two children on £30k gross):

r = pe.uk.calculate_household(
    people=[
        {"age": 35, "employment_income": 30_000},
        {"age": 33},
        {"age": 8},
        {"age": 5},
    ],
    household={"region": "NORTH_WEST"},
    year=2026,
)
r.benunit.universal_credit   # 6029.82
r.benunit.child_benefit      # 2337.40

Reforms are the same flat {parameter_path: value} dict as the US package surface:

reformed = pe.uk.calculate_household(
    people=[{"age": 35, "employment_income": 50_000}],
    year=2026,
    reform={"gov.hmrc.income_tax.allowances.personal_allowance.amount": 15_000},
)
assert round(reformed.person[0].income_tax) == 7_000   # 2,430 more allowance x 20%

Poverty — always state the measure

UK poverty is reported at the household level under two measures, and they can disagree for the same household:

  • in_poverty_bhc — Before Housing Costs.
  • in_poverty_ahc — After Housing Costs.
fam = pe.uk.calculate_household(
    people=[{"age": 35, "employment_income": 16_000}, {"age": 33}, {"age": 4}, {"age": 2}],
    household={"region": "WALES"},
    year=2026,
)
fam.household.in_poverty_bhc   # 1.0  (in poverty before housing costs)
fam.household.in_poverty_ahc   # 0.0  (NOT in poverty after housing costs)

That verified split — same household, BHC in poverty, AHC not — is why a UK poverty figure is meaningless without its measure. Name BHC or AHC in every result, and match whichever the source you compare against used (DWP HBAI headline child-poverty figures are AHC). Deep-poverty variants (in_deep_poverty_bhc / in_deep_poverty_ahc) follow the same convention. At population scale these are the poverty variables behind compute_uk_* breakdowns and the Poverty outputs described in the policyengine skill.

Parameter lookup

For "what is the rate/threshold?" questions, read the parameter tree directly (no simulation). Print the live value in your working year rather than trusting a hardcoded rate — UK rates and thresholds move at every fiscal event.

from policyengine_uk import CountryTaxBenefitSystem

p = CountryTaxBenefitSystem().parameters
p.gov.hmrc.income_tax.allowances.personal_allowance.amount("2026-01-01")   # 12570

Bracket/scale parameters index the scale node with [i] (no .brackets in the reform-dict path, same convention as US):

"gov.hmrc.income_tax.rates.uk[0].rate"   # basic-rate node in a reform dict

When browsing the tree object (not a reform path), a ParameterScale exposes .brackets as a Python list of ParameterScaleBracket, each with .rate(date) / .threshold(date).

Devolved income tax — Scotland and Wales

Income tax rates live under gov.hmrc.income_tax.rates, whose children are dividends, property, savings, savings_starter_rate, scotland, uk. Verify band counts and values live (below is the verified 2026 structure, but treat the parameter tree as the source of truth — do not hardcode rates into analysis):

  • Rest of UK (England & Northern Ireland): gov.hmrc.income_tax.rates.uk is a ParameterScale. Verified 4 brackets / 3 distinct statutory rates — basic 20%, higher 40%, additional 45% (the 4th bracket is a technical top node repeating the additional rate).
  • Scotland: gov.hmrc.income_tax.rates.scotland.rates is a separate ParameterScale with 6 bands (verified 2026: starter, basic, intermediate, higher, advanced, top). Scotland's extra bands are why a UK income-tax analysis must branch on nation rather than assume the rest-of-UK schedule.
  • Wales: there is no separate Welsh income-tax rate parameter (the only WALES parameter anywhere under gov.hmrc is in business_rates). The Welsh Rate of Income Tax is set at parity, so Wales is computed on the rest-of-UK rates.uk schedule. Model Wales via the WALES region, not a separate rate table.
p.gov.hmrc.income_tax.rates.uk.brackets              # verified len 4 (3 distinct rates)
p.gov.hmrc.income_tax.rates.scotland.rates.brackets  # verified len 6

Regions (ITL1)

region is a household-level enum. The Region enum (policyengine_uk/variables/household/demographic/geography.py) is the 12 ITL1 regions plus UNKNOWN:

NORTH_EAST, NORTH_WEST, YORKSHIRE, EAST_MIDLANDS, WEST_MIDLANDS, EAST_OF_ENGLAND,
LONDON, SOUTH_EAST, SOUTH_WEST, WALES, SCOTLAND, NORTHERN_IRELAND   (+ UNKNOWN)

Pass the enum member name as a string: household={"region": "SCOTLAND"}. YORKSHIRE is the key for "Yorkshire and the Humber". UK constituency-level distributional analysis uses the dataset's constituency_code_oa column via compute_uk_constituency_impacts / compute_uk_local_authority_impacts — see the policyengine skill.

Population data

The UK default dataset is populace_uk_2023 (a Microcosm build), pinned by the certified bundle in policyengine 4.21.0. It lives in a private Hugging Face repo, so population runs require a HUGGING_FACE_TOKEN with access:

export HUGGING_FACE_TOKEN=hf_...   # required for UK population data; household calcs do NOT need it

Do not hardcode a raw hf:// dataset URI — the certified default resolves by name through the bundle. The pre-Microcosm UK datasets are superseded. See the policyengine-data skill for how Microcosm UK is built (FRS + WAS imputation) and calibrated, and the policyengine skill for the ensure_datasets / Simulation population flow, which is identical across countries.

Country-model development notes (policyengine_uk directly)

Everything above uses the managed pe.uk surface. When you work inside the UK country model (new variables, structural reforms, debugging formulas), you use policyengine_uk directly, and the reform surface there is the Scenario object, verified importable:

from policyengine_uk.model_api import Scenario   # -> policyengine_uk.utils.scenario.Scenario

Scenario is a Pydantic model with two fields — parameter_changes ({path: {period: value}}) and simulation_modifier (a Callable[[Simulation], None]) — and scenarios compose with + (parameter dicts merge, modifiers chain). The country-package Microsimulation(reform=...) accepts either a plain dict or a Reform class (its verified signature is reform: Union[Dict, Type[Reform]]) and internally calls Scenario.from_reform(reform). Reform.from_dict(dict, country_id="uk") also works and applies correctly for both flat and date-ranged dicts — there is no UK-specific from_dict failure. (Note: the UK baseline bakes in the July-2025 Universal Credit reform, so a bare Microsimulation() is already post-July-2025 UC law.)

Reform patterns for country-model work (from the analysis skill's MICROSIMULATION_REFORM_GUIDE.md):

Parameter-change scenario, with period syntax "year:START:COUNT" or an ISO date:

reform = Scenario(parameter_changes={
    "gov.hmrc.income_tax.rates.uk[0].rate": {"year:2026:10": 0.21},   # 21% for 2026..2035
})

Structural or multi-year edits go through a simulation_modifier. The safe parameter-freeze recipe avoids corrupting shared parameter caches — clone, edit the clone, process, copy the values_list back, then reset caches:

def freeze_higher_threshold(sim):
    clone = sim.clone()
    clone.tax_benefit_system.reset_parameters()
    node = clone.tax_benefit_system.parameters.gov.hmrc.income_tax.rates.uk[1].threshold
    current = node("2026-01-01")
    for year in range(2026, 2031):
        node.update(period=str(year), value=current, remove_after=True)
    clone.tax_benefit_system.process_parameters()
    sim.tax_benefit_system.parameters.gov.hmrc.income_tax.rates.uk[1].threshold.values_list = (
        node.values_list
    )
    sim.tax_benefit_system.reset_parameter_caches()

# PolicyEngine UK

UK-specific facts for the PolicyEngine Python stack. Read the `policyengine` skill first for
the canonical `import policyengine as pe` interface, the population flow
(`ensure_datasets` / `Simulation` / `economic_impact_analysis`), the MicroSeries discipline,
and dataset handling — this skill only carries what is *different* about the UK.

Verified against policyengine 4.21.0 + policyengine-uk 2.89.2 + policyengine-core 3.30.0
(2026-07). UK examples are not in the `[us]`-only CI verify set, so they carry no
`<!-- verify -->` marker; each was run manually in a `policyengine[uk]` environment.

## Setup

The UK model is an extra — bare `policyengine` installs no country model:

```bash
uv pip install "policyengine[uk]"   # UK model + certified UK data bundle metadata
```

Household calculations need no data download. Population runs need the UK dataset, which is a
**private** Hugging Face repo — see "Population data" below.

## Entity model — and the benunit trap

UK entities are **`person` → `benunit` → `household`**. There is **no `tax_unit`** and no
`spm_unit` / `marital_unit` / `family` — those are US entities. The single most common UK
mistake is reaching for `result.tax_unit` out of US habit; on a UK result it raises
`AttributeError` (verified: a UK result has `person`, `benunit`, `household` and no `tax_unit`).

| Concept | US entity | UK entity |
|---|---|---|
| Means-tested assessment unit | `tax_unit` (+ `spm_unit`) | **`benunit`** (benefit unit) |
| Statistical unit for poverty | `spm_unit` / `household` | `household` |
| Individual | `person` | `person` |

A **benefit unit** is a single adult or a couple plus their dependent children — the DWP
assessment unit for means-tested benefits (Universal Credit, Pension Credit, etc.). One
household can contain several benunits (e.g. adult children living with parents). Read
means-tested benefits at the **benunit** level, income tax and NI at the **person** level, and
net income and poverty at the **household** level.

## Household calculations

`pe.uk.calculate_household` mirrors the US call (keyword-only, `year` defaults to 2026), but
results are read on UK entities. Access is dot-attribute on singular entities; only
`result.person` is a list.

```python
import policyengine as pe

r = pe.uk.calculate_household(
    people=[{"age": 35, "employment_income": 50_000}],
    year=2026,
)
assert round(r.person[0].income_tax) == 7_486
assert round(r.person[0].national_insurance) == 2_994
assert round(r.household.hbai_household_net_income) == 39_520
```

Net income comes in two conventions: **`hbai_household_net_income`** follows the DWP
Households Below Average Income definition (the one PolicyEngine reports, and what the poverty
measures below use); `household_net_income` is the plain accounting definition. Prefer the
HBAI variable for anything compared against official UK statistics.

Benefit-unit variables read off `benunit` (a family with two children on £30k gross):

```python
r = pe.uk.calculate_household(
    people=[
        {"age": 35, "employment_income": 30_000},
        {"age": 33},
        {"age": 8},
        {"age": 5},
    ],
    household={"region": "NORTH_WEST"},
    year=2026,
)
r.benunit.universal_credit   # 6029.82
r.benunit.child_benefit      # 2337.40
```

Reforms are the same **flat `{parameter_path: value}` dict** as the US package surface:

```python
reformed = pe.uk.calculate_household(
    people=[{"age": 35, "employment_income": 50_000}],
    year=2026,
    reform={"gov.hmrc.income_tax.allowances.personal_allowance.amount": 15_000},
)
assert round(reformed.person[0].income_tax) == 7_000   # 2,430 more allowance x 20%
```

## Poverty — always state the measure

UK poverty is reported at the **household** level under two measures, and they can disagree
for the same household:

- **`in_poverty_bhc`** — Before Housing Costs.
- **`in_poverty_ahc`** — After Housing Costs.

```python
fam = pe.uk.calculate_household(
    people=[{"age": 35, "employment_income": 16_000}, {"age": 33}, {"age": 4}, {"age": 2}],
    household={"region": "WALES"},
    year=2026,
)
fam.household.in_poverty_bhc   # 1.0  (in poverty before housing costs)
fam.household.in_poverty_ahc   # 0.0  (NOT in poverty after housing costs)
```

That verified split — same household, BHC in poverty, AHC not — is why a UK poverty figure is
meaningless without its measure. Name BHC or AHC in every result, and match whichever the
source you compare against used (DWP HBAI headline child-poverty figures are AHC). Deep-poverty
variants (`in_deep_poverty_bhc` / `in_deep_poverty_ahc`) follow the same convention. At
population scale these are the poverty variables behind `compute_uk_*` breakdowns and the
`Poverty` outputs described in the `policyengine` skill.

## Parameter lookup

For "what is the rate/threshold?" questions, read the parameter tree directly (no simulation).
Print the live value in your working year rather than trusting a hardcoded rate — UK rates and
thresholds move at every fiscal event.

```python
from policyengine_uk import CountryTaxBenefitSystem

p = CountryTaxBenefitSystem().parameters
p.gov.hmrc.income_tax.allowances.personal_allowance.amount("2026-01-01")   # 12570
```

Bracket/scale parameters index the scale node with `[i]` (no `.brackets` in the reform-dict
path, same convention as US):

```python
"gov.hmrc.income_tax.rates.uk[0].rate"   # basic-rate node in a reform dict
```

When browsing the tree object (not a reform path), a `ParameterScale` exposes `.brackets` as a
Python list of `ParameterScaleBracket`, each with `.rate(date)` / `.threshold(date)`.

## Devolved income tax — Scotland and Wales

Income tax rates live under `gov.hmrc.income_tax.rates`, whose children are
`dividends, property, savings, savings_starter_rate, scotland, uk`. Verify band counts and
values live (below is the verified 2026 structure, but treat the parameter tree as the source
of truth — do not hardcode rates into analysis):

- **Rest of UK (England & Northern Ireland):** `gov.hmrc.income_tax.rates.uk` is a
  `ParameterScale`. Verified 4 brackets / **3 distinct statutory rates** — basic 20%, higher
  40%, additional 45% (the 4th bracket is a technical top node repeating the additional rate).
- **Scotland:** `gov.hmrc.income_tax.rates.scotland.rates` is a *separate* `ParameterScale`
  with **6 bands** (verified 2026: starter, basic, intermediate, higher, advanced, top).
  Scotland's extra bands are why a UK income-tax analysis must branch on nation rather than
  assume the rest-of-UK schedule.
- **Wales:** there is **no separate Welsh income-tax rate parameter** (the only `WALES`
  parameter anywhere under `gov.hmrc` is in `business_rates`). The Welsh Rate of Income Tax is
  set at parity, so Wales is computed on the rest-of-UK `rates.uk` schedule. Model Wales via
  the `WALES` region, not a separate rate table.

```python
p.gov.hmrc.income_tax.rates.uk.brackets              # verified len 4 (3 distinct rates)
p.gov.hmrc.income_tax.rates.scotland.rates.brackets  # verified len 6
```

## Regions (ITL1)

`region` is a household-level enum. The `Region` enum
(`policyengine_uk/variables/household/demographic/geography.py`) is the 12 ITL1 regions plus
`UNKNOWN`:

```
NORTH_EAST, NORTH_WEST, YORKSHIRE, EAST_MIDLANDS, WEST_MIDLANDS, EAST_OF_ENGLAND,
LONDON, SOUTH_EAST, SOUTH_WEST, WALES, SCOTLAND, NORTHERN_IRELAND   (+ UNKNOWN)
```

Pass the enum member name as a string: `household={"region": "SCOTLAND"}`. `YORKSHIRE` is the
key for "Yorkshire and the Humber". UK constituency-level distributional analysis uses the
dataset's `constituency_code_oa` column via `compute_uk_constituency_impacts` /
`compute_uk_local_authority_impacts` — see the `policyengine` skill.

## Population data

The UK default dataset is **`populace_uk_2023`** (a Microcosm build), pinned by the certified
bundle in policyengine 4.21.0. It lives in a **private** Hugging Face repo, so population runs
require a `HUGGING_FACE_TOKEN` with access:

```bash
export HUGGING_FACE_TOKEN=hf_...   # required for UK population data; household calcs do NOT need it
```

Do not hardcode a raw `hf://` dataset URI — the certified default resolves by name through the
bundle. The pre-Microcosm UK datasets are superseded. See the `policyengine-data` skill for how
Microcosm UK is built (FRS + WAS imputation) and calibrated, and the `policyengine` skill for the
`ensure_datasets` / `Simulation` population flow, which is identical across countries.

## Country-model development notes (policyengine_uk directly)

Everything above uses the managed `pe.uk` surface. When you work *inside* the UK country model
(new variables, structural reforms, debugging formulas), you use `policyengine_uk` directly, and
the reform surface there is the **`Scenario`** object, verified importable:

```python
from policyengine_uk.model_api import Scenario   # -> policyengine_uk.utils.scenario.Scenario
```

`Scenario` is a Pydantic model with two fields — `parameter_changes` (`{path: {period: value}}`)
and `simulation_modifier` (a `Callable[[Simulation], None]`) — and scenarios compose with `+`
(parameter dicts merge, modifiers chain). The country-package `Microsimulation(reform=...)`
accepts **either a plain dict or a `Reform` class** (its verified signature is
`reform: Union[Dict, Type[Reform]]`) and internally calls `Scenario.from_reform(reform)`.
`Reform.from_dict(dict, country_id="uk")` also works and applies correctly for both flat and
date-ranged dicts — there is no UK-specific `from_dict` failure. (Note: the UK baseline bakes in
the July-2025 Universal Credit reform, so a bare `Microsimulation()` is already post-July-2025
UC law.)

Reform patterns for country-model work (from the analysis skill's
`MICROSIMULATION_REFORM_GUIDE.md`):

Parameter-change scenario, with period syntax `"year:START:COUNT"` or an ISO date:

```python

Kopieren bedeutet weder Installation noch erfolgreichen Einsatz. Abhängigkeiten, API-Kosten und Berechtigungen prüfen.

Tools sind Metadatenhinweise, keine getestete Kompatibilität. Prompts sind Vorschläge.

Mit einer kleinen Aufgabe beginnen

  1. 1Quelle lesen und Eingaben, Ergebnisse, Abhängigkeiten sowie Berechtigungen prüfen.
  2. 2Agent um einen Plan bitten. Einrichtung und Kosten vor einem isolierten Test genehmigen.
  3. 3Ergebnisse und geänderte Dateien prüfen. Nur tatsächliche Ausführungen melden und die Quellrevision aufbewahren.

Prüfe Abhängigkeiten, API-Schlüssel und externe Kosten in der Quelle. Öffentliche Repositories bedeuten nicht, dass alle Dienste kostenlos sind.
