Tobias Haeusermann, “A Salary for Living”
SUMMARY: An article on the cost of living, the cost of stigmatising, and the cost of forgetting the rich historical basis of the Universal Basic Income (UBI) idea. It further explores how the recent proposal to institute a UBI in Switzerland may turn out to be a short-lived experiment, but how it raises important questions about human needs, social justice and how to attend them.
Tobias Haeusermann is a PhD candidate in Sociology at King’s College, University of Cambridge.

Roosevelt Institute’s Basic Income Calculator
Starting with the current U.S. Federal budget, this webpage allows people to estimate the size of a Basic Income they might want and which taxes they would raise or which programs they would replace. It is still in beta test mode, but it yields interesting results.

PolicyShop as a simpler (less detailed) basic income calculator allowing the person to choose only the level of spending (not the source of funding) and find the corresponding level of BI, its total cost, and its impact on poverty (also for the United States):
