2026 + +A 30-minute conversation with a journalist who may not know PolicyEngine. +Keep the intro short (slides 2–4) and leave most of the time for slides 7–9. + +## 1. Title + +PolicyEngine: introduction and Budget planning. Presenters: Vahid Ahmadi, Max Ghenis, María Juaristi. + +## 2. What PolicyEngine is + +Free and open source. Anyone can use it in a browser. Two views: one +household, or the whole country. Source: the policyengine.org UK home page +("Free, open-source tax and benefit analysis"). + +## 3. How it works + +Three parts: the rules (open code in policyengine-uk), the households (the +Microcosm UK data: Family Resources Survey, HMRC tax records and other +surveys, matched to official statistics), and the results. Say it in plain +words; she doesn't need the pipeline detail. + +## 4. Our community + +Eight organisations that use, cite and support our work, as cards with +logos and a type label; no description lines on the slide. +- No 10 data science team (10DS): built its 10ds-microsim package on top of + PolicyEngine during Nikhil's Innovation Fellowship; the card links to our + 20 January 2026 post. That post calls the outputs supplementary, + experimental analysis, so don't say No 10 relies on PolicyEngine. +- House of Lords: our analysis was cited in a Lords debate on 24 February + 2026. A citation in debate, not Parliament using PolicyEngine. The crowned + portcullis is restricted, so the card has no logo. +- Tax Policy Associates: checked the Universities UK National Insurance + costing with PolicyEngine (10 September 2026). +- Centre for Policy Studies: its July 2023 report "Family-Friendly Taxation" + used PolicyEngine modelling to cost its personal allowance proposals. +- Nuffield Foundation: funds our local-area work; its project page names us. +- New Economics Foundation: its July 2026 report on job quality and NEETs + used PolicyEngine UK (also on slide 5). +- Good Growth Foundation and WPI Economics: both use PolicyEngine (Max + confirmed, 9 October). Neither has a public write-up yet, so the cards name + them without a link; leave detail of the work to Max. +- Don't list HM Treasury: its algorithmic transparency record says "HMT does + not currently use PolicyEngine". + +## 5. In the media and reports + +Newest first: Tax Policy Associates' article on the Universities UK +employer NI proposal (10 September 2026), CapX (1 September 2026, citing our bus +fare cap costing), the New Economics Foundation's report on job quality and +NEETs (July 2026; its modelling used PolicyEngine UK), City AM (junior hiring, July 2026), Social Market +Foundation (AI and junior hiring, July 2026), ITV Peston (fuel duty, May +2026), ITV Peston (student loans, February 2026) and Fran Ivens's Telegraph +story of 28 October 2024, two days before that Budget (paywalled): our modelling +of a 1p employer NI rise, £3,093 more employer NI on a £30,000 salary, or a +salary cut to £29,818 if passed on. Our figure was the £182 pay cut; £3,093 was +the employer's NI bill, so don't repeat the "£3,000" in the URL. It was a +pre-Budget scenario for the IEA (a 1p rate rise), not the package announced, +and it quoted Nikhil. Each card now carries one line on what we contributed; +the student loans card has none, so say it if asked. The June 2026 land value tax +post is on slide 6 instead, so it isn't shown twice. + +## 6. Recent UK work + +Eight pieces since April, newest first. Each card links to the live page. +The land value tax post (a guest post by Vahid and Max on Progress and Poverty, +4 June 2026) is new PolicyEngine modelling of a revenue-neutral swap from +council tax to a land value tax; its card shows the post's decile chart. + +## 7. Autumn Budget 2025 + +The dashboard went live at 13:43 GMT on Budget day 2025 with three measures +(two-child limit repeal, threshold freeze extension, fuel duty freeze), each +beside the OBR's costing, and the constituency map. Five more measures came on +27 November, and the ninth and the household calculator on 28 November. The +screenshot shows today's version, revised since Budget day, so don't read its +totals out as Budget-day figures. Left: the dashboard overview +(policy selector and revenue impact by year). Right: the constituency map +(average change in household net income, 2029-30, all 650 constituencies). +Both images link to the dashboard. + +## 8. Autumn Budget 2026: our plan + +Budget day is Wednesday 28 October. Same shape as last year, on the new +Microcosm data. Constituency figures need the local-area data, which hasn't +passed its checks yet, so they come later, with a short published method note. +Don't promise exact timings, embeds or exclusives. + +## 9. Ideas for working together + +For discussion, not commitments: a Budget calculator for readers, local +figures, fast costings (for example our costing of removing the £100,000 +childcare limit), chart data, explainers, and checkable numbers. + +If asked for the childcare figure: about £0.6bn a year from 2027-28. Corrections +are still landing (uk-childcare-100k-threshold #6), and the "about 10,000 +families lose" line on the current dashboard was a modelling error that #6 +removes, so don't quote it. "Checkable" means open code and a published +method: the household data are licensed survey data, so reporters can't +rerun a figure themselves. + +## 10. Thank you + +Website, email, GitHub and LinkedIn. + +## Likely questions + +- Tax Policy Associates: £6.3bn is TPA's adjusted figure. Our raw output was + £9.1bn; TPA corrected it because our dataset had 2.9m employees aged 21 to 24 + against about 2.2m (its footnote 5). Say Dan Neidle cross-checked his costing + with PolicyEngine; don't call £6.3bn our number, and acknowledge the age-count + point if it comes up. +- No 10: our co-founder and CTO, Nikhil Woodruff, did the work as a No 10 + Innovation Fellow embedded in 10DS. Say so up front. +- Inheritance tax: PolicyEngine UK doesn't model it, including pensions coming + into inheritance tax. +- Accuracy: our 2025 dashboard showed our figures next to the OBR's, and some + gaps were large.
