Open Comprehensive Dashboard →📊 Revenue Sharing Calculator
Calculate Maine's Revenue Sharing I (RS1) and Revenue Sharing II (RS2) distributions. These calculators help municipalities estimate their proportional share of state revenue sharing funds based on population, tax assessment, and state valuation.
RS1: Standard revenue sharing calculation for all municipalities
RS2: Disproportionate Tax Burden Fund for municipalities exceeding mill rate threshold
🏛️ TIF Tax Shift Calculator
Calculate the tax shift effects of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts on state education subsidies, state revenue sharing, and county taxes. Understand how captured assessed value impacts your municipality's financial position.
Includes: State Education Subsidy, Revenue Sharing, and County Tax shift calculations
About These Calculators
These calculators are designed to help Maine municipal finance professionals, planners, and decision-makers estimate important financial metrics related to revenue sharing and tax increment financing.
Revenue Sharing Program
Maine's Revenue Sharing program distributes a portion of the state's sales, corporate, and personal income tax revenues to municipalities. The program aims to stabilize municipal property tax burdens by providing financial assistance based on population, local tax assessment, and state valuation.
TIF Tax Shift
Tax Increment Financing allows municipalities to "shelter" new property value within designated districts. This sheltering creates tax shifts that can affect state education subsidies, revenue sharing allocations, and county tax obligations. Understanding these shifts is crucial for comprehensive financial planning.
Education Subsidy Impact
TIF districts can significantly impact education funding by reducing the municipality's state valuation. Since Maine's education funding formula (ED-279) uses state valuation to calculate a municipality's "ability to pay," a lower valuation can reduce the local contribution requirement and potentially increase the state education subsidy.
📊 Current Education Funding Data:
Based on Maine DOE data, the municipality's 3-year average shows:
• Total Allocation: ~$1.4M/year
• Local Share: ~$563K (40%)
• State Subsidy: ~$834K (60%)
