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 through 2013 is 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 through 2013 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).
