Variance estimation is a challenging problem in surveys because there are several nontrivial factors contributing to the total survey error, including sampling and unit non-response. Initially devised to capture the variance of non-trivial statistics based on independent and identically distributed data, the bootstrap method has since been adapted in various ways to address survey-specific elements/factors. In this paper we look into one of those variants, the with-replacement bootstrap. We consider household surveys, with or without sub-sampling of individuals. We make explicit the benchmark variance estimators that the with-replacement bootstrap aims at reproducing. We explain how the bootstrap can be used to account for the impact sampling, treatment of non-response and calibration have on total survey error. For clarity, the proposed methods are illustrated on a running example. They are evaluated through a simulation study, and applied to a French Panel for Urban Policy. Two SAS macros to perform the bootstrap methods are also developed.
