Depends on income and spending mix. A $75K household pays ~$1,850/year (~$154/month) on average. Higher income and more spending on apparel, vehicles, and electronics increase the impact. The US household average is about $1,751/year.
Apparel and vehicles typically see the largest price pass-through due to higher tariff rates (15–25%) and import share. Electronics, furniture, and some food categories also add cost. This calculator uses category-specific rates from Yale Budget Lab and BLS Consumer Expenditure data.
Yes. It uses average US tariff rates (highest in 80+ years at ~16%), category-level rates for apparel, vehicles, electronics, and food, plus pass-through assumptions from Yale Budget Lab and Tax Policy Center research.
Spending shifts matter: less on highly taxed imports (apparel, vehicles, electronics) and more on domestically produced goods or lower-tariff categories reduces impact. The calculator lets you adjust category shares to model your household.
This model estimates how import tariffs translate into consumer prices by category. It combines average tariff rates with category-specific pass-through assumptions and household spending shares.
