At Your Carbon Price everyday Australians can answer a few basic questions to estimate (a) how much (or little) our costs might change, and (b) how much we'll receive in tax cuts and other assistance. Here's mine:
As you can see from my analysis, the tiny impact of $5.70 per week, is easily offset by the $5.83 reduction in my income tax. I'd be interested to hear how the numbers came out for your situation.
To add further perspective, i read that the average Australian spends $30 per week on alcohol.

I had the same numbers. :) I liked the explanation on how the carbon tax works.
Hi Laura,
Yeah, i guess we have fairly similar scenarios - and so can probably expect a similar outcome. Especially bearing in mind the way the calculator is designed - to give as good an estimate as possible without quizzing us to the nth degree.
