We show contributions in Merits (ME) so tax, gifts, and volunteering — and later different countries — can be compared on one scale. 10 ME ≈ one hour of socially useful work.
Illustrative estimate only — not tax advice and not your Rovas Merit balance. Sensitive inputs stay in your browser unless you choose to post ME totals.
Caveats
- Simplified single-earner employee path; ignores contribution ceilings, II. pilier nuance, and most tax bonuses.
- VAT shares are experimental / microsimulation-style, applied to gross wage as income proxy.
- Gifts and volunteer hours are not in the official ME histogram — those arrive from anonymous posters and Civic.
- Illustrative ME only — does not mint Rovas Merits.
