The Carbon Dividend Calculator allows you to calculate the monthly gross* dividend for any size family for any of the first 20 years of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act.

The numbers are based on an in-depth analysis by Regional Economic Models, Inc. "The Economic, Climate, Fiscal, Power, and Demographic Impact of a National Fee-and-Dividend Carbon Tax". See the Citizens' Climate Lobby summary and link to the full 150 page report here.

The Carbon Dividend Calculator can also estimate the total cash flow into a community of any size for any of the first 20 years. This is useful for demonstrating to community and businesses leaders of the economic stimulus potential of the dividend. For example, in the second year of the dividend, my home town of Petaluma California (population 60,000) would see almost $24 million of cash flow, less taxes, to households.

*Unlike CCL's Carbon Fee and Dividend Calculator, BCL's calculator does not attempt to calculate the net benefit (dividend less increased cost of carbon use). The intent is to make it simple, and better convey CF&D's best kept secret: EVERY MONTH, YOU WILL GET REAL CASH, and your community will get an economy-boosting stimulus.
