PolicyEngine user guide
Help someone use policyengine.org to compute how a policy affects a specific household or the population. The app has three stable surfaces: a household calculator, a policy editor, and society-wide impact results. Exact labels and layout evolve — describe the flow by these concepts rather than memorized button text.
What PolicyEngine does
PolicyEngine computes the impact of tax and benefit policy on households and society. Users can calculate their own taxes and benefits, design a custom reform, see population-wide impacts, and share a reform by link. It is a nonpartisan nonprofit; the site is free.
Countries: United States (policyengine.org/us), United Kingdom (/uk), and Canada (/ca).
Household calculator
The household flow answers "how does this policy affect this household?"
- Describe the household. Enter the people (ages, marital status, dependents), their income by type (employment, self-employment, capital gains, pensions, benefits received), the location (US state or UK region, plus any local options the model supports), and any deductions/expenses the model uses (e.g. charitable giving, mortgage interest, SALT, medical).
- Read the results. Net income after taxes and benefits, broken into total tax, total benefits, and effective and marginal tax rates, with charts of net income and marginal rate across an earnings range.
- Apply a reform. Layer a policy reform on top to compare baseline vs. reform for the same household.
Policy editor
The policy flow answers "what does this reform do to the population?"
- Pick parameters to change. Browse the parameter tree by government department and program (e.g. IRS credits, SNAP, Universal Credit), select a parameter, and set a new value or schedule. Verify the parameter's current baseline before changing it — post-OBBBA US law differs from older summaries (e.g. the CTC baseline is $2,200 in 2026, not $2,000).
- Run the society-wide impact. The app computes the reform against microdata and returns:
- Budgetary impact — total cost or revenue, broken down by program.
- Poverty impact — change in poverty rate, by age group and for deep poverty.
- Distributional impact — average change and winners/losers by income decile.
- Inequality impact — Gini index and top-income shares.
Sharing a reform
Every reform gets a shareable URL. The link encodes the reform, the region (national, state, or district), and the year of analysis, so a recipient opens the same scenario. Charts can be downloaded as images to drop into a post or deck.
Reading the results
- Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM): the Census Bureau's alternative measure that accounts for taxes, benefits, and living costs — more comprehensive than the Official Poverty Measure.
- Gini coefficient: income inequality on a 0 (perfect equality) to 1 (perfect inequality) scale; lower means more equal.
- Income deciles: the population split into ten equal groups by income (decile 1 = lowest).
- Winners and losers: shares whose net income rises or falls by more than a set threshold.
- Chart types: bar charts compare across groups (deciles, states); line charts show relationships (income vs. impact); waterfall charts decompose the budgetary impact.
Common tasks
- Effect on my household: household calculator → enter details → apply the reform → compare.
- Cost of a reform: policy editor → build the reform → budgetary impact.
- Poverty effect: policy editor → build the reform → poverty impact.
- Who benefits: policy editor → build the reform → distributional impact (winners/losers by decile).
- Compare two reforms: build reform A, save its link, build reform B, compare their impacts.
FAQ
- How accurate is it? Household calculations apply statutory tax and benefit rules and match official calculators for individual households. Population estimates use microsimulation on survey microdata calibrated to administrative totals.
- Can I file my taxes with it? No — it is for policy analysis, not tax filing. Use IRS.gov or professional software to file.
- What programs are modeled? US: federal income/payroll/capital-gains tax, EITC, CTC/ACTC,
SNAP, WIC, ACA subsidies, Social Security, SSI, TANF, and state income taxes; UK: income tax,
National Insurance, Universal Credit, Child Benefit, State Pension, Pension Credit, Council Tax
Support. See
policyengine.org/us/parametersand/uk/parametersfor the full list. - How do I report a wrong result? Note the household inputs and the household URL, and file an
issue on the relevant country model repo (e.g.
github.com/PolicyEngine/policyengine-us). For app bugs, file ongithub.com/PolicyEngine/policyengine-app-v2.

Check dependencies, API costs and permissions before proceeding.
Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Start with one small task
- 1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
- 2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
- 3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
