Osborne's Little...

[Aperitif]

...Budget. Aspects of it make people feel sick, while others, May, feel happy.

Anyway, try for yourself with this simple, easy to use budget calculator. Don't worry about the amount of Coke you'll not be able to drink, just think of the wonderful feeling coursing through the veins of the future Prime Minister.
The Calculator: Here. I'll be £6.39 a month 'better off'.
Good samaritans etc springs to mind looking at that photo - what feeling do you get?

I'm still trying to work out what the guy in the blue robes is actually doing with the guy in the red robes.

Theresa May is the breast of a bad bunch.

 

[Pennine-Paul]

£0.17 a month worse off
How will I cope

 

[Levo-Lon]

Great budget for me.

 

[Beebo]

Shudder!

It does not include the impact of changes to most benefits, tax credits, pension credit or universal credit or changes taking effect from April 2017.

So if you're on benefits you're screwed.

It reckons I'll be about £11 a month better off. Probably because it is calculating income tax wrong.

 

[Spinney]

According to that calculator, nearly £30 a month better off. No idea how accurate the calculator is though.

This does not make me happy with the budget.

 

[numbnuts]

No gains no losses

£6 better off a month apparently. That's pre Redbull/Cola of course

 

[twentysix by twentyfive]

£6.60 better off here based on numbers I don't really know very well - never been overly motivated by those. Just put some ballpark numbers in to a possibly faulty calculator. Income tax threshold is where I win I think. But all who pay income tax will I guess (I assume @User14044 pays his butler using a scam where tax isn't paid - and/or he's permanently pissed).

 

[awomaninsane]

I'm going to be £6.67 a month better off. I've decided that I'm going to double the amount of pints I drink because that should make me even more better off. Or was it the petrol where I was saving the money? Nope, I'm sticking to the beer drinking

Shudder!

"...and this latest measure will decrease the amount of those that constitute sixteen avoirdupois ounces"

 

[wheresthetorch]

It's a shame the calculator is how much better off 'you' will be, rather than how much better (or worse) off your poverty stricken neighbour will be.

 

[Drago]

I feel ill.
