Set your home value and income. We estimate your property, state, and federal taxes, then trace each dollar to what it funds: the school district, the village, Albany, and Washington. Estimates only; for your real bill use the bill reconciler.
Verified in-village split (July 2026 math audit, Nassau LRV parcel tax tables). In-village parcels pay no county police-district, town highway, or fire and sanitary lines: the village levy funds RVC's own police, sanitation, and roads.
South Side High School ranks #611 nationally (U.S. News). The district spends $40.2K per student on ST-3 actuals, among Long Island's higher spenders, and delivers strong outcomes for it.
2026-27, resolved: the January $3.78M projected deficit was closed by the April 16 adopted budget ($141.32M, +1.03%), eliminating about 22 teaching and 40 teaching-assistant positions. Voters approved it 1,915-1,195 on May 19. Structural drivers remain: health insurance +10%, out-of-district special ed at $6.38M, revenue growth ~1%. This squeeze is why the housing turnover agenda exists.
Municipal electric: RVC's Electric Department supplies power ~15-20% below PSEG Long Island, roughly $200-350/yr saved per household. About 75% comes from NYPA Niagara hydro.
The volunteer fire department avoids the payroll of a paid department; unofficial estimates put the avoided cost at $8-12M annually (no published study).
Policing cost split (corrected July 2026): because RVC runs its own police department, in-village parcels are exempt from the Nassau police-district tax and pay only the county police headquarters line. Village policing is funded through the village levy instead.
The data ask lives here: the Assessment Department holds the parcel-level senior exemption counts that every downstream fiscal decision needs. It does not publish them by school district.
The $4.2M budget passed with 2,101 votes, stayed under the levy cap, and shifts investment toward eBooks and audiobooks.
What it funds: highway maintenance, permits and inspections, animal control, town parks, and the Receiver of Taxes who administers collection of your school and general bills.
Why $0 (corrected July 2026): in-village parcels pay no separate special-district lines. The village levy funds RVC's own fire, sanitation, water, and roads. RVC-schools parcels outside the village do pay these lines through the Town of Hempstead general bill. Verified against Nassau LRV parcel tax tables.
Estimates only: simplified 2025 bracket math. NYS cuts its bottom five brackets by 0.1 point in 2026 and again in 2027; the 6.85% bracket is unchanged.
State Operating Funds shares, FY2026 (~$143B). The state's largest lines: Medicaid and health (33%), school aid (27%, including the STAR program and the $2,058/yr downsizing dividend from the mechanics page), higher ed and local aid (22%), transportation and the MTA (12%, including the LIRR), public safety (6%).
Estimates only: simplified 2025 bracket math with OBBBA SALT provisions. AMT, NIIT, capital gains rates, and credits are not modeled.
FY2025 actuals (~$7.0T, CBO). Net interest on the debt (~$1.03T) has exceeded total defense spending every year since FY2024.
ACS B19049 2020-24 (RVC by age; ACS brackets are 25-44 / 45-64 / 65+), Nassau all-household median; NYS/US approximations.
The same verified ~$21.1K in-village bill divided by three value bases gives three different rates. There is no single "RVC effective rate": quote the basis with the number. This calculator uses 2.57% of current market value as a planning mid-point of a ~2.0-3.2% range.
