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).

Income floor — daily, per person, every human $3.00 / day
$3 = World Bank extreme-poverty line. $15 ≈ "no developed-country household lives in poverty."
Annual wealth tax above $1M net worth 2.0 %
Applied to $213.8T held by ~58M people (UBS 2024). 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
$4.56T
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
$4.41T
3.7% of world GDP
At these dials, redirected flows cover about half the cost.
