Scan a receipt — Prices that reflect Cost

1 — The receipt

The photo is read on this device. Nothing is uploaded, and no account is involved.

2 — What we found

Every quantity is editable. Anything marked assumed is a typical pack size, because the receipt line never said how much.

Nothing yet. Scan a receipt, or add a product by hand below.

Lines we could not price

These are left out of the total rather than guessed at. Pick a product if you know what it was.

3 — The carbon price

The same range the front page uses. The higher the price, the stronger the behavioural push — and the more redistribution it demands.

Carbon price

Mostly eco-certified / organic (reduces the estimate by ~15%)

How rough is this? Rough. OCR misreads receipts, shop wording is ambiguous, and a product name rarely tells you the weight. The figure is an order-of-magnitude answer to “what would this basket cost if the damage were in the price”, not a tax assessment. Correct the quantities and it gets a good deal closer.
