  The fee is per household, not person - however, there's no need to estimate the funding as the accounts are public: http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/insidethebbc/reports/pdf/BBC-FS-2016.pdf http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/insidethebbc/reports/... The actual total income in 2015/16 was £4,805M, with £3,735M coming from the licence fee.

  Forget to calculate the cost of rubbish TVE, the government does not allow it, even we pay for it. How so? Their budgets are public[1]. It's a total of around 975M€/year, 920M€ of which come from direct and indirect taxes. There are about 18.35M households in Spain[2], so it costs ~50€/household/year.
