Suggest QOL Change - View Expenses
Posted: 18 September 2026, 04:57
A thought I had while playing Capitalist: I find it a bit tedious having to calculate wages, then work out my needs (including checking what I’ll make if my food is bought vs. if it isn’t), and then deduct my taxes to check how much VP I'll score
I’d love to see a function similar to the Tax Calculator that keeps track of your current expenses and lets you edit them to see what you are likely to score at the end of the round. It would save me from feeling like I need to bust out a calculator every time I want to work out my VP.
I also think this could help newer players get a better handle on Capitalist. I’ve noticed that newer players don’t always have a clear idea of how much money they’ll need to spend during the production phase, particularly in the first round. Being able to see your expenses laid out could make that side of the game much easier to understand.
This is something I’d especially love to see for Capitalists, but I think it could also be useful for MC and potentially the other classes as well.
Eager to hear what people think: Would a “View Expenses” button be a useful addition to the game on BGA, and is something like this possible to implement?
