What this shows: This calculator compares the Policy Analytics pre-SEA-1 baseline without the referendum to the modeled post-SEA-1 outcome with the proposed $10 million operating referendum. SEA 1 is already law. The “Without Referendum (Pre-SEA-1)” column is therefore a historical baseline used for comparison, not a current post-SEA-1 no-referendum forecast. The calculator sums the annual modeled changes from 2027–2034; it does not multiply the 2027 monthly amount by 96.
Rounding note: The Net Change column follows the annual difference from Policy Analytics estimates. Because the amount rounds the without/with tax liability figures, subtracting those rounded figures may differ by $1 from the published annual difference in some years.
