− | Considering a population of 10,000 volunteers, each contributing $10,000 to the budget, the total budget for the first RBE10K experimental city would be US$100 million. It is expected that as new cities are created, the cost of implementation will reduce, since machinery and resources purchased or produced by existing cities will be able to be shared with newly implemented ones. As the aim of the project is eliminating poverty worldwide, it is expected that at some point, creating new settlements will have zero monetary cost, and will be able to invite people who have no money or ways to obtain it. | + | Considering a population of 10,000 volunteers, each contributing $10,000 to the budget, the total budget per RBE10K city would be US$100 million. |

− | The budget is being coordinated by a budgeting team, which is looking for ways to reduce the individual amounts required for the implementation of the first experimental city. It is organising not only how the budget will be distributed between the different areas applicable to the project, but also seek to obtain most materials donated, and if possible, moneys from philanthropic organisations and foundations too. Whilst the project considers that the implementation as soon as possible is more important than a concept of fairness in the monetary market world (which is by nature highly unfair), the budgeting team is committed to enabling and promoting participation in the experiment and the first few communities, based on commitment alone and removing as much as possible the component of purchasing power.
