Thanks for this data point. Is there an extract on Californians you can point to? I didn't see state there.
Additional people have some chance of being in the phase-in range on 2026-12-31 (including some currently outside California) who may plan accordingly over the coming 14 months.

California's wealth tax proposal isn't marginal: At $2B wealth, you'll pay 5% on the full $2B ($100M).
To avoid a cliff, they phase in the 5% over $1B to $1.1B wealth. You pay $0 at $1B and 5% at $1.1B. That's $55M, or a 55% tax on tha $100M marginal wealth.

Alaska's Fairbanks region has the highest second-lowest-cost silver plan (a key PTC ingredient) for older residents.
As a result, a married couple, each 64 years old earning $83k, would gain $57,292 in 2026 if the enhanced subsidies are extended. They'd get some PTC with up to $756k income.

HMRC projected last year that raising the VAT threshold to £90k would increase revenues in 2028-29. Looks weird until you realize that would represent a tax hike by then, since it'd otherwise be £92k!
