Election watch

Congressional midterms: 3 November 2026.

This elects Congress; it is not a presidential election. State election offices administer voting and can have additional dates.

Election information source ↗

Checked 2026-09-17. A presidential request, a congressional resolution and minority-party analyses serve different purposes. No single Democratic 2026 election budget has been verified in this collection.

Government and alternative plans

Source documents for reference. A party's costing is its own estimate unless identified as independent. Different years, definitions and government levels are not directly comparable. These documents do not automatically change the simulator.

Presidential budget request · FY 2027 · published April 2026

Budget of the US Government, FY 2027 ↗

White House / Office of Management and Budget

The administration’s proposed fiscal priorities. A request is not enacted appropriations, and Congress can change it.

Congressional budget resolution · FY 2026; levels through FY 2035

S. Con. Res. 33: congressional budget resolution ↗

US House Rules Committee

Legislative text and supporting material for the budget resolution. Budget resolutions and spending laws are different instruments.

Opposition analysis collection · 2026 / FY 2027 materials

Budget reports and documents ↗

House Budget Committee Democrats

Minority-party analyses and critiques of the administration and congressional plans. These reports are not labelled as a complete costed alternative budget.

Tax starting points

Income tax: 10–37% federal + state/local
Corporation tax: 21% federal + state
VAT / sales tax: No federal VAT · state/local sales tax
Tariffs: Rates depend on the product, origin and trade agreement.

Federal ordinary-income marginal rates, retained from 2025 under the 2025 legislation. State/local income taxes may apply. The 21% corporation rate is for C corporations; alternative minimum tax and pass-through rules differ.

Tax sources checked 2026-09-17. These are headline references; marginal rates apply to income bands, not every unit of income. Payroll contributions and allowances are not included in this compact comparison.

Income tax source · Corporation tax source · WTO tariff schedules

Pension schedules still marked “Not yet verified” are missing verified comparison data, not countries without pensions. Pension entitlements depend on contributions, age, residence and scheme.
