Data Sources: For a discussion of the sources of the government spending data used here read How We Got the Data for usgovernmentspending.com.
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.
All federal outlays prior to 2018, state spending prior to 2022 and local spending prior to 2022 are actual. More recent spending, including future years out to 2023, are budgeted, estimated, or guesstimated.
Federal expenditure for 1962 through 2023 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 2021 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.
For a table of data sources see Government Spending Data: Sources.
Government Spending Updates: The most recent year for actual federal spending is FY 2023. The most recent year for actual state spending is FY 2021. The most recent year for actual local government spending is FY 2021.
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.
