First-year cost vs external estimates

Estimates are single-year and year-specific; the 2025 prior score and the 2026 figure are not directly comparable.

Methodology

Static microsimulation (no behavioral response) on the certified PolicyEngine bundle dataset via the hosted PolicyEngine API. All budgetary figures are single-year 2026 — do not extrapolate a naive ×10 for a ten-year total.
