Billionaire Wealth Tax Calculator

Wealth Tax Calculator is a tool for voters to determine how much we should tax billionaires to pay for the policies that matter most to us.

Abdul El-Sayed wasn’t supposed to be a politician.

He studied to be a doctor — but realized it was our broken politics that was making people sick. Abdul has dedicated his entire career to building government agencies that actually work for Michiganders. He is running for the U.S. Senate because he believes life in America shouldn’t be this hard, and as your Senator, Abdul will fight to build a government that works for you, not Elon Musk, Donald Trump, or their billionaire friends. That’s why we created the billionaire wealth tax calculator.

Abdul is running for U.S. Senate because life in Michigan shouldn’t be this hard — or this expensive. After a successful career of making government work for Michiganders, he wants to take his vision to Washington and make the United States Senate work for you.

Abdul rebuilt a government agency to make it actually work — and then he did it again. He rebuilt Detroit’s Health Department after bankruptcy. Then he restructured Wayne County’s Department of Health, Human & Veterans Services, serving 1.8 million Michiganders in the state’s largest and most diverse county. As a public servant, Abdul secured free glasses for kids who needed them, removed lead from Detroit’s elementary schools, took on Michigan’s biggest polluters, and made life-saving Narcan universally accessible. He also spearheaded a program that will cancel up to $700 million in medical debt for 300,000 Michiganders over 2 years. His work earned him recognition as “Public Official of the Year” by the Michigan LCV and a spot on Crain’s Detroit Business 40 Under 40 list.

Recognized nationwide as an expert on improving the American healthcare system, Abdul authored Medicare for All: A Citizen’s Guide, which explains how to build a healthcare system that guarantees high-quality, affordable healthcare for every American. In 2020, he was selected to serve on President Biden’s Unity Task Force for Healthcare, helping craft policies that are lowering prescription drug prices today.

Abdul has spent his career making government work for people, and in the U.S. Senate, Abdul’s priorities will be to get money out of politics, put money in your pocket, and pass Medicare for All.

This calculator is based on the Forbes 2026 estimate of $8.2 trillion in wealth of America's 938 billionaires. Using calculations from economists Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman, imposing a tax of 5% on this wealth and factoring a 10% tax evasion/avoidance rate would generate $368.5 billion annually and around $4.4 trillion over the ten-year budget window 2026-2037. Tax rates range from 1-10% to show potential revenue at different taxation levels.
