Overview
Rescales government spending into your household budget scale.
When you read that Congress just approved $800 billion in spending, does that number mean anything to you? Probably not. Budget Scaler fixes that. Enter your annual household income once, and Budget Scaler automatically rescales any government dollar figure on any webpage into what it would look like at your scale. $800 billion becomes $9,924 — the equivalent amount from your own budget. FEATURES ▸ Whole-page conversion — click the toolbar button or press Alt+Shift+B to rescale every dollar figure on the page at once. ▸ Selection mode — highlight any text, right-click, and choose "Scale to my budget" to convert just that passage. ▸ Hover to compare — scaled values are highlighted in green. Hover over any one to instantly see the original government figure. ▸ Live preview — the popup shows you a real-time preview of the scale before you apply it, so you always know what you're working with. ▸ Your income, your scale — set any household income. The ratio updates instantly across every conversion. HOW IT WORKS Budget Scaler divides your household income by the US federal budget to create a personal scaling ratio. Every government figure on the page is multiplied by that ratio, so the numbers finally feel real. PRIVACY Budget Scaler stores only your income figure, locally in Chrome's sync storage. It reads page text to find dollar amounts and does nothing else. No data is collected, transmitted, or shared.
