White House Launches Tax Savings Calculator
A new White House site lets workers calculate tax savings as lawmakers weigh Trump’s sweeping economic bill.
Online Tool Promotes Trump’s Economic Agenda Amid Legislative Push
The White House on Tuesday unveiled a public website where Americans can calculate potential tax savings under the proposed One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The legislation, currently under Senate review, promises sweeping reforms on taxes, immigration, energy, defense, and the national debt.
The site features a calculator that asks users to enter their weekly base pay, tips, and overtime earnings. Based on those inputs, it estimates how much each individual could save annually if the bill passes. The legislation aims to eliminate federal taxes on tips and overtime—cornerstones of President Donald Trump’s tax reform strategy.
The bill has already cleared the House and is awaiting Senate action. Though it has earned endorsements from over 1,000 U.S. businesses and trade groups, several Senate Republicans have voiced opposition, citing concerns about its impact on the national debt.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent maintains that the anticipated fiscal pressures can be managed through economic growth and later cost-cutting. Supporters argue that the tax relief will benefit working Americans and stimulate consumer spending, while also addressing immigration and border control measures.
President Trump continues to push for rapid passage of the bill, emphasizing its benefits for working-class voters. In a recent social media post, he called on Republican lawmakers to “UNITE behind the One Big Beautiful Bill” and warned that failure to act could result in a 65% increase in taxes for Americans. He also highlighted provisions to remove unauthorized immigrants from Medicaid to preserve the program for eligible citizens.
Opposition remains, however. Senator Rand Paul criticized the bill for potentially increasing the federal debt ceiling by $5 trillion. He argued that raising the cap would inevitably lead to higher debt, a point dismissed by proponents who say economic expansion will offset the costs.
Tensions have escalated between Trump and Paul, with the President accusing the senator of aligning with political opponents. Trump warned that such resistance could harm constituents in Paul’s home state, stressing that projected economic gains will resolve fiscal challenges without major sacrifices.
Despite internal disagreements, many Senate Republicans are working toward a self-imposed July 4 deadline to pass the legislation. Senator Mike Rounds stated that failing to act would cost the average American family an estimated $2,400 annually in additional taxes.
“We don’t have a choice,” Rounds said, urging swift passage to restore permanent provisions from the original Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. He added that the bill is vital to advancing the administration’s broader legislative agenda and protecting American households from increased financial burdens.
As negotiations continue, the administration is using the online calculator to drive public support and highlight the bill’s tangible benefits. Whether the measure gains enough momentum in the Senate remains uncertain, but with a looming deadline and growing stakes, the coming weeks will prove pivotal.
