[ddj] Interactive calculator question from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Tue Aug 27 05:15:47 UTC 2013

Hi Amy,

If you are looking for interactive tax calculators you probably want to get
in touch with the OpenSpending / Where Does My Money Go folks on this list:
http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/openspending (BTW I'm one of them!)

They've built stuff that sounds like it may be what you want and is
reusable e.g.
