ABUNDANCE · REDISTRIBUTION CALCULATOR · CC0

Move the dials.

Cost of a universal income floor vs. revenue from selected redistribution sources. Every input is a real primary-source number (UBS, SIPRI, IMF, World Bank).

Illustrative cash transfer — current USD per person per day $3.00 / day
Amounts are hypothetical current US dollars, not poverty thresholds. The World Bank's separate 3.00/day line uses 2021 PPP international dollars. This calculator does not estimate poverty exits or local purchasing power.
Annual wealth tax above $1M net worth 2.0 %
Applied to $250.6T held by ~58M adults (UBS GWR 2026). Flight not modeled.
Share of global military spending redirected 10 %
Applied to $2.887T (SIPRI 2025).
Share of food waste/loss recovered 20 %
Applied to the 32% of global food production lost or wasted (FAO+UNEP 2024).
Annual cost of universal floor
$8.98T
7.6% of world GDP
Revenue from selected sources
$5.30T
wealth tax + military redirect
Food calories recovered
~278 kcal / person / day
enough for everyone above the 2,100 kcal floor without producing more
Net funding gap
$3.68T
3.1% of world GDP
At these dials, redirected flows cover about half the cost.
