EUROMOD 3.8.6 is a tax-benefit microsimulation model developed and maintained by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) in collaboration with Eurostat and national teams from EU countries, succeeding the University of Essex’s ISER which originally managed the platform. Designed for researchers and policy analysts, the software calculates—in a fully comparable way—the effects of national tax and social-benefit rules on household disposable incomes and work incentives across all EU Member States and for the Union as a whole. Cross-country consistency is achieved by encoding each national policy system within a single, harmonised framework that follows standard modelling conventions, enabling users to run “what-if” scenarios such as assessing the poverty impact of a new child benefit, estimating labour-supply reactions to in-work tax credits, or comparing the redistributive power of alternative basic-income proposals. The platform is organised around a purpose-built, user-friendly interface supplemented by optional plugins and add-ons that extend functionality for specialised analyses, and its transparent, documented and validated architecture has been reused in country-specific models worldwide. Since December 2020 the entire codebase has been open source (previously open access), fostering a growing community of several hundred active users from academia, ministries, central banks and international organisations who bridge research and policymaking. Alongside the current release 3.8.6, four major versions are recognised, reflecting continuous updates to keep pace with evolving EU legislation and micro-data. EUROMOD belongs to the “Scientific / Other” category of analytical software. The application is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
