House Reconciliation Bill: Budget, Economic, and Distributional Effects (May 19, 2025)

Summary: We estimate the House reconciliation bill increases primary deficits by $3.3 trillion over 10 years. Even so, GDP rises in the short and long term, as precautionary increases in labor supply and savings respond to a reduced social safety net.

Key Points

  • Tax provisions approved by the House Ways and Means Committee would extend and expand major components of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which we estimate will increase primary deficits by $4,561 billion ($4.6 trillion) over 10 years. Three other Committees increase primary deficits by another $321 billion. These changes would be partly offset by spending cuts of $1,602 billion, for a total conventional cost of $3,280 billion.

  • Despite increasing debt by 7.2 percent in 10 years and 12.0 percent in 30 years, the bill would increase GDP by 0.5 percent in 10 years and 1.7 percent in 30 years. The average wage falls slightly in 10 years but increases by 0.8 percent in 30 years. Primary deficits increase by slightly more (to $3,305 billion) in the budget window when accounting for these positive economic dynamics, due to microeconomic responses and compositional effects described in the brief.

  • The positive economic gains are driven by increases in savings and labor supply, as households face a weaker social safety net associated with reductions in spending. On a conventional basis, households in the first income quintile lose about $1,035 in 2026, reflecting net reductions in taxes and transfers, including cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. The top 10% of the income distribution receives about 65 percent of the total value of the legislation. (Under current law, the top 10 percent of the income distribution pays about 70 percent of all federal taxes). On a dynamic lifetime basis, lower-income and all future households are worse off, despite positive economic effects.


House Reconciliation Bill: Budget, Economic, and Distributional Effects (May 19, 2025)

Introduction

Last night, the House Budget Committee approved legislation bringing together proposals from the various committees of the House of Representatives under the Fiscal Year 2025 Concurrent Budget Resolution’s reconciliation instructions. Together, these proposals will make up the House reconciliation bill. Some aspects of the final package remain uncertain, and our analysis reflects legislation current as of May 19, 2025. This analysis also scores the legislative text as currently written against current law. Future analysis will consider the effects of making various temporary tax provisions permanent.

House Committee Proposals

Table 1 summarizes the deficit effects of the proposals that have emerged from each House committee as of May 19. PWBM estimates that, as written, the bill would increase primary deficits by $3.3 trillion from 2025 to 2034, exceeding the target maximum in the reconciliation instructions. Under the Budget Resolution, Congress may increase primary deficits over the 10-year budget window by up to $2.8 trillion only.

Note: Estimates for the Armed Services, Education and Workforce, Financial Services, Homeland Security, Oversight and Government Reform, and Transportation and Infrastructure committees are based on complete cost estimates from the Congressional Budget Office. Estimates for all other committees are by PWBM based on legislative text, committee documents, and other public information.

PWBM estimates that the House Ways and Means Committee’s tax proposals would reduce revenues by $4.6 trillion over the budget window.1 Increases in spending under the Armed Services, Judiciary, and Homeland Security Committees’ jurisdictions would add another $321 billion to primary deficits. While all other committees have proposed net spending cuts or revenue increases, these savings amount to only $1.6 trillion in total, offsetting less than one-third of the nearly $5 trillion increase in deficits from tax cuts and spending increases.

House Ways and Means Committee Tax Proposals

Table 2 reports the revenue effects of the reconciliation legislation approved by the House Ways and Means Committee, which would extend and expand major components of the TCJA, create several new tax benefits for specific forms of income, and eliminate or substantially limit a wide range of energy-related tax credits.

Below, we summarize the major provisions and new tax proposals from the Ways and Means Committee. For an overview of the proposal, see the Bipartisan Policy Center. For detailed explanations of its provisions, see the Joint Committee on Taxation. Appendix Table 1 (at the end of this report) presents detailed revenue estimates for these proposals.

  • Extend TCJA individual and estate tax provisions: Extending the TCJA would retain the current individual income tax rates, tax brackets, standard deduction, limits on itemized deductions, tax credits, estate tax exemption, and other tax parameters in place since TCJA went into effect. See our previous analysis of the House reconciliation proposals and TCJA extension for additional details. For provisions of the TCJA that are expanded or altered under the Ways and Means proposal (such as the section 199A deduction for pass-through businesses and the cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions), we consider those expansions separately and estimate their effects relative to extension of the original version in the TCJA.

  • Restore TCJA business and international tax provisions: The bill would temporarily restore the cost recovery rules initially in place under the TCJA through 2029, including the special bonus depreciation deduction for qualified investment, the immediate deductibility of research and experimentation costs, and the more relaxed net interest limitation based on income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It would also permanently maintain the section 250 deduction and effective statutory tax rates on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) and foreign-derived intangible income (FDII) at their current levels (they are set to rise in 2026 under current law) and maintain the current rate in the base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT).

  • Expand TCJA individual and estate tax provisions:

    • Provide an additional year of inflation adjustment for some ordinary tax bracket thresholds: For all but the top two ordinary rate bracket thresholds (i.e. the 35 percent and 37 percent bracket), the bill provides an additional year of inflation adjustment, setting the base year for calculating the adjusted value to 2016, rather than 2017. This produces bracket thresholds that are higher than they otherwise would be, relative to a simple extension of the TCJA.

    • Enhanced standard deduction: The bill provides an additional year of inflation adjustment for the standard deduction, beginning in calendar year 2026. This produces a standard deduction that is higher than it would be otherwise, relative to a simple extension of the TCJA. In addition, the bill provides for a temporary enhancement to the standard deduction, institutes a bonus amount to the standard deduction of $2000 for joint returns, $1500 for head of household returns, and $1000 for all others. This bonus amount begins in tax year 2025, is not indexed for inflation, and expires after 2028.

    • Enhanced child tax credit: The bill temporarily increases the value of the child tax credit from a nominal $2000 to a nominal $2500 per child. This increase begins in tax year 2025 and expires after 2028. After 2028, the child tax credit reverts to the TCJA value of $2000 per child. In 2029 and thereafter, the value of the credit is adjusted for inflation, using 2024 as a base year.

    • Enhanced deduction for qualified business income: The bill provides for a permanent enhancement to the section 199A deduction for qualified business income beginning in tax year 2026, increasing the deduction rate from 20 percent to 23 percent of qualified business income (relative to a simple TCJA extension). It also modifies the rules dictating the limitation of qualified business income based on income and business type/characteristics, relative to a simple TCJA extension.

    • Enhanced estate tax exemption: The bill permanently increases the estate tax exemption to $15 million (up from $10 million in 2017 dollars under a simple TCJA extension), beginning in tax year 2026. This amount is indexed for inflation thereafter.

  • Expand TCJA business and international tax provisions: The bill would increase the limits on immediate expensing of investment under section 179 and temporarily expand the special bonus depreciation deduction to structures used in production activities through 2028. It also extends and expands Opportunity Zones, relaxes size thresholds for certain requirements on small manufacturers, and excludes services income from the U.S. Virgin Islands from the GILTI regime.

  • New individual tax provisions:

    • Limit itemized deductions: The bill institutes a new limit on itemized deductions beginning in tax year 2026. This limitation applies to filers with taxable income that exceeds the 37 percent ordinary rate threshold for their filing status and reduces the allowable itemized deductions by 2/37 of the amount by which taxable income exceeds this threshold (or the total amount of itemized deductions, whichever is smaller).

    • No tax on tips: The bill provides a temporary deduction for qualified tip income, available to all filers regardless of itemizing status, beginning in tax year 2025. The bill sets general guidelines for forthcoming regulations governing what constitutes qualified tip income. These guidelines are intended to limit the occupations for which tipped income will qualify for the deduction. The deduction is limited to non “highly compensated employees,” generally individuals making less than $160,000 per year in 2025 dollars. This deduction ends after 2028.

    • No tax on overtime: The bill provides a temporary deduction for the bonus amount of eligible overtime pay, available to all filers regardless of itemizing status, beginning in tax year 2025. The deduction only applies to overtime covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act, and is limited to non “highly compensated employees,” like the tip income deduction. This deduction ends after 2028.

    • Additional deduction for seniors: The bill provides a new temporary bonus deduction for all individuals who have attained the age of 65. This deduction is $4,000 per individual and phases out at a rate of 4 percent of AGI over $150,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly, or $75,000 for all other filers. This deduction is available to all qualifying taxpayers regardless of filing status beginning in tax year 2025, and it expires after 2028.

    • No tax on auto loan interest: The bill provides a temporary deduction for qualified passenger vehicle loan interest beginning in 2025. The bill outlines several restrictions on what constitutes qualified auto loan interest. It also limits the total deductible amount to $10,000 per year, or 20 percent of the taxpayer’s AGI more than $100,000 ($200,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly), whichever is lower. This deduction expires after 2028.

    • Charitable deduction for non-itemizers: The bill provides a temporary deduction for charitable contributions, available to non-itemizers. This deduction is limited to $300 for married taxpayers filing jointly, and $150 for all other filers. It is available beginning in tax year 2025 and expires after 2028.

    • Permanently increase the SALT deduction cap to $30,000: In the 2017 TCJA, the previously unlimited individual state and local tax (SALT) deduction was capped at $10,000, meaning itemizers could only claim a maximum of $10,000 of their state and local tax liability as a deduction.2 This bill provides a permanent new SALT deduction cap of $30,000.3 This cap phases out at a rate of 20 percent of adjusted gross income over $400,000, to a minimum cap of $10,000.4

  • Repeal or modify energy and clean vehicle tax credits: The bill eliminates or substantially limits several tax credits designed to encourage investment and production of clean energy, alternative fuels, and electric vehicles. A number of these credits created or expanded under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2021. They include credits for individuals (such as clean vehicle and residential efficiency credits) and businesses (such as energy production and manufacturing credits).

Major Spending Cuts

Table 1 also shows the deficit reduction achieved by committees instructed to reduce spending or increase non-tax revenues. Below, we summarize the major spending reductions proposed by various committees.

  • Changes to Medicaid and Health Insurance Marketplaces: The Energy and Commerce Committee’s proposal includes changes to major federal health programs. It would cut Medicaid spending by imposing work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents, increasing eligibility checks to twice a year, reducing the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) for states covering undocumented immigrants, introducing cost-sharing for Medicaid expansion enrollees, banning new or increased provider taxes used to draw federal funds, and capping provider payments at Medicare rates. It would also codify proposed changes to the federally subsidized Health Insurance Marketplaces that would reduce participation in the Marketplaces. These proposals would reduce the deficit by more than $900 billion over the budget window.

  • Changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): The Agriculture Committee’s proposal would reduce spending on SNAP by more than $290 billion over ten years. The bill would shift a significant portion of SNAP benefit costs to states with a new cost-sharing formula linked to payment error rates. It would also create additional work documentation requirements, limit the growth of the Thrifty Food Plan, shift administrative costs to states, and make other changes to reduce federal SNAP costs.

  • Changes to student loans: The Education and Workforce Committee’s proposal would eliminate subsidized and income-driven loan repayment plans, impose new overall limitations on student borrowing, and tighten Pell Grant eligibility. Altogether, the Education and Workforce Committee’s proposal would reduce spending by $350 billion over the budget window. Under federal budget accounting rules, the lifetime subsidy costs of student loans are measured on an accrual basis and recorded up front. As a result, almost $200 billion of the Committee’s total savings are recorded in the budget immediately in Fiscal Year 2025.

Deficit Effects: Conventional and Dynamic

Table 3 reports the total conventional-basis cost of legislation of $3,280 billion over 10 years. Including dynamic effects does not reduce the legislative costs despite small, positive increases in GDP over the first decade, reported in Table 4 and discussed below. The actual savings from economic growth do not appear until 2033 and 2034 and are not enough to overcome higher costs in earlier years in the 10-year budget window. After 2033, the dynamic costs fall relative to conventional, a difference which persists until 2054.

With Dynamic Effects -100 606 600 567 450 249 213 219 260 243 3,305

Source: Penn Wharton Budget Model

Before 2033, two primary factors increase the dynamic costs relative to conventional:

First, some households that would otherwise have lost Medicaid without dynamics re-acquire access with dynamics by reducing their hours worked.

Second, despite increasing the number of hours worked in response to the legislation (Table 4), firm-level total wage bills are often flat or negative due to compositional effects. Specifically, lower-wage workers increase their hours worked, especially due to a reduction in the social safety net spending programs. However, higher-income households reduce their hours worked, as income effects slightly dominate substitution effects after reductions in marginal tax rates. While total productivity-weighted hours increase, lower-income households pay taxes at a lower marginal tax rate than higher-income households.

PWBM’s dynamic model --- an overlapping-generations (OLG) lifecycle model with uninsurable idiosyncratic risks --- allows us to capture these two effects in detail. Without this framework, the positive response to labor and savings from an increase in uninsurable risk could not be properly incorporated against the negative effects of more government debt. Moreover, the OLG model captures the microeconomic effects associated with Medicaid enrollment and the tax compositional effects noted above, which are important for explaining why 10-year costs with positive dynamics need not be smaller than conventional costs.

Economic Effects

Table 4 reports the economic effects of the legislation over the next 30 years. By 2034, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is projected to be 0.5 percent higher than under current law, while the capital stock will be 0.6 percent higher, and federal debt will increase by 7.2 percent. Work hours are expected to rise by 0.9 percent, even as wages fall by 0.2 percent. Despite higher debt, the simultaneous increase in labor supply and capital accumulation reflects that households are less protected from health and income shocks due to cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. As a result, they work longer hours and increase precautionary savings.

Table 4: Economic Effects of the FY 2025 House Reconciliation Proposals

Percent Change from Baseline

2034 2039 2044 2049 2054
Gross domestic product 0.5 0.6 0.8 1.1 1.7
Capital stock 0.6 0.9 1.4 2.0 3.0
Hours worked 0.9 0.9 0.8 0.8 1.0
Average wage -0.2 -0.1 0.1 0.4 0.8
Consumption 1.5 1.6 1.6 1.5 1.3
Debt held by the public 7.2 8.6 9.8 11.0 12.0

Source: Penn Wharton Budget Model

Over the next 30 years, the House reconciliation bill increases GDP growth slightly, and GDP would be 1.7 percent higher in 2054 than under current law. That growth is driven by a 3 percent larger capital stock and a 1.7 percent increase in hours worked. At the same time, the House reconciliation bill increases debt by 12 percent over the next 30 years.

Distributional Effects: Conventional

Table 5 reports conventional-basis distributional effects by income quintile as the percentage change in income after changes in taxes and government spending. The average household in the lowest quintile – with a household income between $0 and $16,999 – would lose about $1,035 under the House reconciliation bill. That figure represents a 10.8 percent loss in average income for that group and a 6.8 percent reduction in the median income for that group. Households with incomes between $17,000 and $50,999 would lose $705 on average.

Most of the gains for the top 0.1% derive from a boost to corporate profits from restoring the TCJA’s original cost recovery regime and maintaining lower tax rates on multinationals. In the near-term, the temporary restoration and expansion of bonus depreciation and other cost recovery provisions produce large gains in after-tax profits. When they expire after 2029, those gains are partially and temporarily reversed, due in part to firms moving production to earlier years before expiration and thus reducing investment in 2030. By 2033, the international tax provisions become the dominant factor. The net effect is a partial u-shape in gains over time for this group.

Distributional Effects: Dynamic Estimates

Dynamic distributional analysis considers how a policy affects households across the income and age distribution, including the unborn (represented by a negative age index at the time of the reform). It asks how much, on average, households in each (income, age) bucket value the proposed policy change over their entire lifetime, represented as a one-time transfer at the time of the policy change. Dynamic distributional analysis is the standard in academic research, where conventional analysis is rarely used due to several key limitations that dynamic analysis addresses. It is also the natural welfare metric of the OLG lifecycle model with uninsurable risk, which is the paradigm model in economics for modeling the bidirectional equilibrium relationship between microeconomic and macroeconomic responses to a policy change.

Table 6: Dynamic Lifetime Distributional Effects of the FY 2025 House Reconciliation Proposals

Note: "Gross Income" refers to each household's income in the year of the policy change. We categorize households not yet in the labor force (ages 20 and younger) by their gross income in the year they enter the labor force.
Source: Penn Wharton Budget Model

Table 6 reports policy “equivalent variations” for the same cases and versions reported in Table 4. A positive equivalent variation means that the person would be better off under the policy reform; a negative equivalent variation means that the person would be worse off under the policy reform. For example, as shown in Table 6, a household aged 30 in the 20th to 40th percentile of the income distribution loses about $9,600 of value from this policy bundle, as shown by the negative value. Put differently, this household is indifferent between adopting this policy bundle and losing a one-time payment of $9,600 without this policy change. However, a household aged 30 in the top 20th percentile of income gains an equivalent of $18,300. This household would be indifferent between this policy bundle and a one-time payment of $18,300 to avoid adopting this bundle.

Table 6 shows that households most affected by the cuts to Medicaid and SNAP—those in the bottom income quintile—experience the largest losses under this bill, averaging $28,000 in lifetime value for the working-age population. In contrast, working-age households in the top income quintile generally benefit from lower taxes, gaining an average of $30,000. Working-age households in the middle of the income distribution also lose, with an average lifetime reduction of $3,000, as they face a chance of needing spending programs that have been reduced. All future generations are projected to lose under the bill, with lifetime losses ranging from $11,300 for low-income households to $1,700 for high-income households. A reduced social safety net and an increase in debt drive these losses.
