Does the document’s own arithmetic add up? The Statistical Appendix reconciles. Recomputed independently: each of the revenue, capital and taxation columns sums to its stated total, and the stated deficit equals spending minus taxation, in all five years, to within rounding. Over the five years the document sets out £935.8bn of additional spending, £610.8bn of additional taxation and £325.0bn of additional borrowing, which it states as its own line rather than leaving to be inferred.
Advocate for an increase in school funding, with an £8bn investment in schools that would include £2bn for a pay uplift for teachers.

The Wealth of Our Nation: Restore Britain's Economic Philosophy (2026) · 13 costed claims
Does the document’s own arithmetic add up? The two framings in the document do not reconcile on their face. The tax measures are itemised at figures close to the annual receipts HMRC reports for each tax, and they sum to about £155bn, which the paper describes as a total "over the course of the Parliament". Read as annual, they are roughly five times the stated figure. The savings show the same tension: the itemised annual measures total £126-142bn a year against a stated £35bn a year. The paper's stated condition is that cuts arrive "only when fully funded", so the sequencing may resolve it, but the published document does not.
State education will remain free, with schools operating independently at the institutional level and funded according to pupil numbers; private school fees will become tax-deductible and education will be exempt from VAT. We estimate an annual contribution of £10 billion.

We will end all net-zero-related public expenditure, saving approximately £15-20bn billion annually to the public purse and a multiple of that to the private sector.
Deficit - funded by additional debt: 85.3 / 44.7 / 52.6 / 62.9 / 79.5 (£bn, years ended 31 March 2026 to 2030).
The manifesto states the borrowing requirement explicitly as its own line rather than leaving it to be inferred. Recomputed independently: the stated deficit equals spending minus taxation in each of the five years.
These are our best estimates of what needs to be added to total public expenditure in the next spending review to fund the policies set out in this Manifesto. The estimates are for the five years starting on 1st April 2025. The baseline for this forecast is the OBR March 2024 projection.
Sum of the appendix's own revenue and capital lines across the five years to 2030. Rising from £122.0bn in 2025-26 to £251.9bn in 2029-30.
Check the official dataWe estimate that to meet these commitments, the NHS in England would require additional annual expenditure of £8bn in the first full year of the next parliament, rising to a total of £28bn in 2030. We also estimate that additional capital spending of at least £20bn is needed in total over the next five years.
NHS England is the largest single body in the Cabinet Office public bodies register, at £174.2bn in 2023/24.
Check the official dataAn end to the hostile environment. An end to the minimum income requirements for spouses of those holding work visas. Safe routes to sanctuary for those fleeing danger, persecution and war. [...] Green MPs would campaign to abolish the No Recourse to Public Funds condition [...] We would also campaign to abolish the ten-year route to settlement [...] Those seeking asylum and protection to be permitted to work while their application is being decided.
Not costed. The manifesto's Statistical Appendix has no immigration line, so these measures are not attributed a cost or a saving anywhere in the document.
Check the official dataElected Greens will propose levying a carbon tax at an initial rate of £120 per tonne, rising to a maximum of £500 per tonne of carbon emitted within ten years. This is deliberately designed to make it cheaper for the emitter to take steps to reduce emissions rather than pay the tax. We estimate we will be raising up to an additional £80bn by the end of the parliament, then falling back after that as carbon emissions reduce across the economy.
The manifesto states the receipts are designed to fall away over time as emissions drop, so this is not a durable revenue base on its own account.

Taxation: Taxes on personal income and wealth 28.5 / 65.3 / 68.9 / 71.9 / 72.9. Business taxes 7.0 / 9.1 / 9.5 / 9.6 / 8.2. Carbon taxes 1.2 / 40.6 / 57.0 / 69.7 / 91.3. Total 36.7 / 115.1 / 135.4 / 151.2 / 172.4 (£bn, years ended 31 March 2026 to 2030).
Reaching £172.4bn a year by 2029-30. Carbon taxes become the largest single component by that year, at £91.3bn.

Elected Greens will push for a wealth tax. This will tax the wealth of individual taxpayers with assets above £10 million at 1% and assets above £1bn at 2% annually. Only a very small minority of people would be subject to the wealth tax, while the overwhelming majority would benefit.
The £50-70bn range is the manifesto's estimate for its personal tax reforms as a whole, not for the wealth tax alone: "by the end of the next parliament they could add raise between £50 and £70bn per year in 2024 prices".

We will freeze most departmental budgets (excluding defence, health, and debt interest) for three years, generating further savings of £3-4 billion per year.

We estimate total savings of around £178 billion by 2031-32 – approximately two-thirds of the post-2019 excess – equivalent to about £35 billion per year or 3% of the budget annually.
The document states £178bn as a cumulative total by 2031-32 and £35bn as the annual equivalent.
Check the official dataThe National Health Service will remain free at the point of use for citizens; non-citizens will be charged at market rates; and private health costs will become tax-deductible, a measure we expect to prove fiscally positive through reduced NHS demand. We estimate a net annual benefit of £20 billion.

restrict all working-age benefits to British citizens only, with no access for temporary visa holders, those with Indefinite Leave to Remain, or illegal migrants. [...] non-citizens will be charged at market rates [for the NHS]. [...] Those here on temporary visas or Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) will be denied any recourse to public funds.
Not separately costed. The document folds it into the £70-80bn a year it attributes to the full range of working-age benefit changes, so no figure is attributable to the citizenship restriction on its own.
Check the official dataWe will freeze aggregate budgets, generating savings of approximately £8 billion per year or £40-45 billion over a Parliament, and review all bodies for abolition, scaling back, or full ministerial oversight (currently some 438 bodies spending £376-391 billion).
The 438 bodies / £376-391bn figure is cited in the document to the TaxPayers' Alliance, not to an official source. The Cabinet Office register records 304 bodies and £365.7bn for 2023/24.

Component figures are close to the annual receipts HMRC reports for each of these taxes.

introduce a zero rate on the first £50,000 of profits, thereby removing approximately 95% of companies from the regime; restore the 19% rate above that threshold (with an aspiration of 15% later); and phase out various sector-specific levies (estimated cost £41 billion).

We propose tax cuts of approximately £155-156 billion over the course of the Parliament, matched to spending savings and introduced only when fully funded, with the ambition of reducing the overall tax burden.

We would freeze working-age benefits at 2025-26 levels for the duration of the Parliament; and restrict all working-age benefits to British citizens only, with no access for temporary visa holders, those with Indefinite Leave to Remain, or illegal migrants.
