Money figures go out of date quietly. Enter one you have seen and we will check it against our registry of 57 tax, retirement, and benefit figures, each verified against a primary source. You will get one of three answers: current, an older value we have since updated, or not a figure we track.
What to paste: a money figure, or a claim you saw in something you are reading.
What you get back: our current verified value, with its receipt.
What a miss means: we do not track it yet. That is not a verdict on the claim.
What this is. A quick check against the same figures the rest of the site uses, matched in your browser. The full list lives on the Source Ledger, and each result carries the receipt behind the number.
What this tool is not. It checks text against the figures we track, and we don't track everything. A miss means we don't have it, not that the claim is wrong. Mistakes can happen on our side too; corrections are public on our errata page, and you can report one. Always confirm against the linked source.
Education only. Nothing here is investment, tax, or legal advice.
