The US government officially has the green light to send coronavirus relief checks to Americans - but how much should you expect to receive? To answer that question, researcher Jasmine Mah and mathematician Maciej Kowalski created an online calculator that quickly crunches the numbers for you.
Americans will receive relief checks according to their income, with payments as much as $1,200 for individuals making less than $75,000 a year, and more for those with children. It's all being drawn from the $2 trillion stimulus package, the largest in US history, which was signed into law Friday to help mitigate the economic damage incurred during the coronavirus outbreak.
Small businesses, larger companies, health care systems, and disaster relief will also receive support among other expenses as part of the bill.
Americans will receive their relief checks from the government in about three weeks, but for those who do not have a direct deposit set up, it could take longer.
