Your Land Dividend
Most of what you pay for housing isn’t for the building — it’s for the location. That’s land rent, and today it flows to landowners and banks. If it were collected publicly and paid back equally as a Citizen’s Dividend, you’d pay the same rent but receive an equal share of all of it. Enter a few numbers to see where you’d land.
Right now, land rent quietly takes about 23% of your income — and you get nothing back for it. Under land-value capture, that same rent funds a dividend shared by everyone. Households on ordinary land gain; those occupying the most valuable locations contribute more, because they’re using more of what belongs to all of us.
Illustrative only. The per-person dividend assumes land rent of a typical developed economy shared equally per resident; your real figures will differ.
