… offset Per P.L. 2024 c.88, the correct formula is: max(min(property_taxes * 50%, $6,500) - ANCHOR - Senior_Freeze, 0) Previously the formula was: min((property_taxes - ANCHOR) * 50%, $6,500) This fixes two issues: 1. The cap ($6,500) should apply to 50% of property taxes before subtracting ANCHOR, not after 2. Senior Freeze benefits were not being subtracted Also adds nj_senior_freeze as an input variable (defaults to 0). Closes PolicyEngine#7417 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
