Before we show you the numbers

Where are you right now on Act 10?

There's no right answer — we're just marking where you start.

Take a guess

Since Act 10 (2011), what changed for most Wisconsin public employees on pensions and health insurance?

They now pay a share of both.

Act 10 required most public employees to contribute toward their own pension costs and a larger share of their health-insurance premiums — costs taxpayers had previously covered almost entirely. It also capped bargained raises at the rate of inflation.

Take another guess

If pension and health contributions returned to pre-Act 10 levels, where would most of the added school-district cost ultimately come from?

Most likely: local property taxes.

Wisconsin school districts are funded largely through local property-tax levies. Restoring pre-Act 10 salary and benefit levels would most likely push that levy up, unless the state chose to cover the difference. How much is where the estimates come in — next.

How this is estimated

WILL, a Wisconsin policy group, estimates what each school district would need to raise taxes to restore pre-Act 10 salary and benefit costs, and expresses it per $300,000 of home value. This tool scales that to your entered value. It's an estimate, not a set figure — WILL puts the statewide cost around $1.788 billion a year; independent estimates run lower. "Another Wisconsin district" shows WILL's statewide average, not your specific district.
