The cost of the proposed scheme mentioned in the question would depend upon the extent to which taxpayers availed of the incentive, the savings rate, the amount saved and whether there was a cap or not on the maximum amount saved. In the absence of any indication of these parameters, I am unable to give any accurate projection.
