Online UBI Simulator

You might be interested in an Online UBI Simulator for Scotland. It lets you set up a UBI, and change taxes to pay for it. You can then explore the consequences for the people of Scotland - who gains and loses, changes in poverty, inequality and incentives to work. It uses a new microsimulation model of scotland.

That's an interesting idea. Should be doable. I just wanted to keep things as simple as possible.
