As millions of Americans still try to cope with the financial consequences of the pandemic, an online petition advocating for the government to provide struggling citizens with $2000 per month has gained publicity, already gathering a staggering number of almost 3,000,000 signatures. Indeed, it seems like the question of "Will there be a fourth stimulus check?" is on everyone's minds. Unfortunately, the federal government does not seem to be willing to provide it.

Luckily, many Americans can count on the help of their local authorities. Several states have decided to provide their citizens with their own versions of the stimulus checks. This calculator focuses on one of them: California's Golden State Stimulus II. According to the office of Governor Gavin Newsom, Californians who qualify for the program and have filled in their tax return will start receiving their payments as soon as Friday, August 27.

On top of that, this is the second Golden State Stimulus that the local government has provided to its citizens. About 11 million citizens of California are estimated to receive payments under the Golden State Stimulus Plan.

This tool can be used to estimate how much aid one can expect, based on a number of factors taken into account by California's Franchise Tax Board.
