The table shows overall government receipts for the specified fiscal year. Revenue totals are aggregated for each major source of revenue.
- For the United States the table shows receipts for all levels of government—federal revenue, state revenue, and local revenue.
- For individual states the table shows receipts for state and local governments only.
Federal receipts for 1962 and after are based on federal data on receipts in the president’s budget. State and local receipts—both for the United States as a whole and for individual states—for 1992 and after are derived from spending, revenue, and debt data in the Census Bureau’s census of state and local government finances.
Nationwide state and local revenue between 1971 and 1991 is obtained from Statistical Abstract of the United States.
Federal revenue prior to 1962 and state and local revenue prior to 1971 is obtained from Bicentennial Edition: Historical Statistics of the United States, Colonial Times to 1970.
You can use controls on the table to change the year or to drill down to view more detailed revenue information. You can also view the revenue data as percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Notes
Data Sources: For a discussion of the sources of the government revenue data used here read How We Got the Data for usgovernmentrevenue.com.
Actual vs. Budgeted: Government revenue data in usgovernmentrevenue.com includes historical revenue and also future revenue in three categories: budgeted, estimated, and guesstimated. Records of recent revenue are more detailed than historical records of earlier times.
For a table of data sources see Government Spending Data: Sources.
Government Revenue Updates: The last update to federal revenue was made in April 2013. The last update to state revenue was made in December 2012. The last update to local government revenue was made in July 2011.
Typically, federal revenue is updated from the president’s budget each February. State and local revenue is updated when published by the US Census Bureau, in the fall for the previous year’s state revenue (e.g., November 2012 for 2011 revenue) and in the early summer for local revenue (e.g., July 2012 for 2010 revenue).

State and Local Spending for Individual States from 1957 to 1991
Up to now, we have provided state and local finances from the present back to 1992 using data provided by the Census Bureau here. But the Census Bureau also has data on individual states going back to 1957 here in file Govt_Finances.zip.
There is a break in data series at 1991-92. The Census Bureau prior to 1992 has fewer line items than the post-1992 data. There is also a break at 1976-77. The Census Bureau prior to 1977 has fewer line items than the post-1977 data. Typically, the data in reports for earlier years is reported in an aggregate item that sums up the detailed items in the more recent data reports.
These breaks in data have produced "notches" in some of the data series, and we have done some "juggle-ology" to produce smoother data series, as detailed below.
One problem in the pre-1992 data is that Medicaid is not broken out of welfare. Up to now, for pre 1992 years we have estimated Medicaid expenses for all states combined based upon the assumption that the intergovernmental transfers to health care all apply to Medicaid and can be subtracted from the gross welfare expenditures to produce welfare net of Medicaid. For each state, therefore, we have broken down pre-1992 gross welfare expenditures between net welfare and Medicaid based upon the overall ratio for all states between net welfare (gross welfare less health care intergovernmental transfer) and Medicaid (health care intergovernmental transfer).
Another problem that the pre-1992 data seems to include judicial and legal system expenditures under "General Control" in the "General Government" category. Data since 1992 has separate data series for judicial and legal system expenditures and we showed it under "Protection" in the default data view. We have therefore created a new "default" view with judicial and legal system expenditures included under "General Government." The old default view -- now labeled "old" -- has the judicial and legal system expenditures included under "Protection." Typically, any links you have saved previous to June 15, 2013 will categorize data under the old default view. New links will use the new default view, unless you select the old default view.
For 1958-60 combined state-and-local data only is reported in the Census Bureau data. So we have estimated state data and local data by interpolation from 1957 and 1961.
