FEDERAL Budget is all about the bottom line – and the bottom line is all about numbers.
 
Our experts have put together three tools to help you calculate just what you stand to win and lose, which services will feel pain or gain and – for those who like to take a macro view - a breakdown of how the government will manage its spending.

First up: Let’s talk about you

This interactive, put together with PriceWaterhouseCoopers analyst Jeremy Thorpe, addresses how you, personally, will be affected. Just follow the prompts.

Where the axe will fall

If you use health or education services, have a family or pay tax – and that’s pretty much most of us covered – flick through the graphic below to get across the main areas of spend and save.

Finally: The big picture

The total amounts juggled at Budget time can be mind-boggling. This interactive shows what the government is doing with the money you cough up as tax.
