Always wondered... is the bonus income from switching to 70% tax last turn played of set(only if you KNOW its the last turn) worth it? or does pop lost make you lose more NW then youd gain?

Anyone calc it?

Is it even worth calculating?
If double tax revenue for 1 turn makes a difference, I think your problems run much deeper than not setting tax rate to 70%

i'm willing to bet that pop loss would make it wortless.

A 20k acre farmer with decent bus/res tech would have around 200k population, and about 2m a turn in tax revenue. 70% tax rate would then give an extra 2m cash. At 4k networth per 1 million cash, that would be about 8k networth from the extra cash. You'd have to lose 48k of the 200k population for it not to be worth it.

A 20k acre casher would have around 600k population and 12m in tax revenue. It would get about 48k networth from a tax increase, so it would need to lose 288k of its population for it to not be worth it.

Using rough estimates, it seems to be worth it, but would only provide a very minimal boost in networth.

Nevre said a NW worth it... jus twas curious if it would help a bit. Was something like 15k NW over 16 countries away from being 200m ANW so was curious if it would pump it enough=P.

it's worth it.

i did it with a casher with PCI boom + 70% tax as a 80k casher it gave me an extra like 200M cash for much less nw in pop loss.

but if you are counting on this to gain a rank, it's probably a pretty damn close battle ;P

I'm 100% sure it's worth it if it's only for a turn :p

The key of course, is it the last turn?

Is it worth doing it every time you get a bonus point for PCI boom?

That is a better question. My intuition says yes but I don't care to do the calculations.

i actually did it 3 turns in a row and it was a mistake. My pop fell by 50% and my pci tanked below 50% lmao. It took me like over 30 turns to recover! lmao.

ONLY DO IT FOR 1 TURN!!!!
It's beneficial if you only do it for 1 turn. 1 turn = 6x cash income with only 1 turn of expense and food intake.
It'll take you about 10 turns to recover but you'll still be int he positive.
