Notes

The table shows overall government expenditures for the specified fiscal year. Spending totals are aggregated for each major government function.

For the United States the table shows spending for all levels of government—federal spending, state spending, and local spending.
For individual states the table shows expenditures for state and local governments only.

For explanation of Gov. Xfer column see blog on “All About Intergovernmental Transfers.”

For explanation of Other Borrowing row see blog on “The Feds Borrow More than the ‘Deficit.’”

All federal outlays prior to 2019, state spending prior to 2017 and local spending prior to 2017 are actual. More recent spending, including future years out to 2024, are budgeted, estimated, or guesstimated.

Federal expenditure for 1962 through 2024 is based on federal subfunction data published in the president’s Budget of the United States Government. State and local expenditure—both for the United States as a whole and for individual states—for 1992 through 2016 is derived from spending, revenue, and debt numbers in the US Census Bureau’s annual survey of State and Local Government Finances.

State and local expenditure for the United States as a whole between 1971 and 1991 is obtained from Statistical Abstract of the United States. State and local expenditure for individual states between 1957 and 1991 is obtained from an MS Access database at a US Census Bureau site: Govt_Finances.zip.

Federal expenditure between 1792 and 1961 and state and local expenditure for the United States as a whole between 1902 and 1971 is obtained from the US Census Bureau’s Bicentennial Edition: Historical Statistics of the United States, Colonial Times to 1970.

You can use controls on the table to change from display of nationwide spending data to individual states. You can change the year or to drill down to view more detailed spending information. You can also view the spending data as percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Notes

Data Sources: For a discussion of the sources of the government spending data used here read How We Got the Data for usgovernmentspending.com.

Intergovernmental Transfers: The column labeled “Gov. Xfer” in the table represents monies paid by the federal government as grants and aid to state and local governments. These are “intergovernmental transfers.”

For a discussion read All About Intergovernmental Transfers.

Federal Spending by Agency Code: If you drill down below the federal subfunction level you can see federal spending split up into about 4,000 agency code accounts.

For a discussion read Federal Spending at the Agency Code Level

Actual vs. Budgeted: Government spending data in usgovernmentspending.com includes historical spending and also future spending in three categories: budgeted, estimated, and guesstimated. Records of recent spending are more detailed than historical records of earlier times.

For a table of data sources see Government Spending Data: Sources.

Government Spending Updates: The most recent year for actual federal spending is FY 2018. The most recent year for actual state spending is FY 2016. The most recent year for actual local government spending is FY 2016.

Typically, federal spending for the fiscal year ending September 30 is first updated from the US Treasury data published in mid October each year, and then updated when the federal budget is published the following February. State and local spending is updated when published by the US Census Bureau.

The update schedule is published on Government Spending Update Schedule.

Federal Deficit, Receipts, Outlays Actuals for FY18

On October 15, 2018, the US Treasury reported in its Monthly Treasury Statement (and xls) for September that the federal deficit for FY 2018 ending September 30, 2018, was $779 billion. Here are the numbers, including total receipts, total outlays, and deficit compared with the numbers projected in the FY 2019 federal budget published in February 2018:

Federal Finances FY 2018 Outcomes
	Budget billions	Outcome billions
Receipts	$3,340	$3,329
Outlays	$4,130	$4,108
Deficit	$833	$779

usgovernmentspending.com now shows the new numbers for total FY 2018 total outlays and receipts on its สูตรเล่นบาคาร่าให้ใช้ฟรี เป็นวิทยาทานEstimate vs. Actual page.

The Monthly Treasury Statement includes "Table 4: Receipts of the United States Government, September 2018 and Other Periods." This table of receipts by source is used for usgovernmentspending.com to post details of federal receipt actuals for FY 2018.

This FTS report on FY 18 actuals is a problem for usgovernmentspending.com because this site uses Historical Table 3.2--Outlays by Function and Subfunction from the Budget of the United States as its basic source for federal subfunction outlays. But the Monthly Treasury Statement only includes "Table 9. Summary of Receipts by Source, and Outlays by Function of the U.S. Government, September 2018 and Other Periods". Subfunction amounts don't get reported until the FY20 budget in February 2019. Until then usgovernmentspending.com estimates actual outlays by "subfunction" for FY 2018 by factoring subfunction budgeted amounts for FY18 by the ratio between relevant actual and budgeted "function" amounts where actual outlays by subfunction cannot be gleaned from the Monthly Treasury Statement.

Final detailed FY 2018 actuals will not appear on usgovernmentspending.com until the FY 2020 federal budget is published in February 2019 with the actual outlays for FY 2018 in Historical Table 3.2--Outlays by Function and Subfunction.
