Direct return effect
The revenue generated directly for the state through the subsidy (taxes and social contributions). Additional savings, such as reduced unemployment benefits or social aid, could also be considered, but they are not included in this simulator to maintain a simplified approach.
7.8
Indirect return effect
The indirect financial impact for the state. In this simulator, only the increase in working hours in the rest of the economy—enabled by the time saved for users—is considered.
2.26
Windfall effect
The amount of taxes and social contributions that would have been paid or retained even without the subsidy. This helps refine the calculation of net estimated benefits.
1.17
Net public cost
This indicator measures the return on investment for public authorities per euro invested in the subsidy. A negative result means that the state recovers more than it spends through generated tax and social revenues as well as cost savings.
