Calculator
The MyCovCost calculator accessible at this website and through the MyGovCost mobile iPhone app asks for visitors’ age, income, and education and uses this information to calculate the visitor’s share of government spending. Each users’ submissions are collected for reporting and statistical purposes, but not in a way that personally identifies any user.
