My Country Budget: a national-budget sandbox
An interactive simulator lets you choose a country, alter ten major fiscal decisions, and see the resulting budget.
Field notes
The simulator begins with country-specific fiscal baselines and asks the visitor to make ten choices affecting the resulting budget. Its comparison table spans 11 countries and includes debt per person, debt-to-GDP, annual balance, government spending, tax rates, tariffs, retirement age, and pensions. The site separates its UK simulator baseline from standardized IMF comparison measures and warns that headline tax rates are not effective burdens. Some country fields remain marked “Not yet verified.”
