The table shows overall government receipts for the specified fiscal year. Revenue totals are aggregated for each major source of revenue.

  1. For the United States the table shows receipts for all levels of government—federal revenue, state revenue, and local revenue.
  2. 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).

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 revenus 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 February 2010. The last update to state revenue was made in July 2010. The last update to local government revenue was made in July 2010.

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 2010 for 2009 revenue) and in the early summer for local revenue (e.g., July 2011 for 2009 revenue).

State Finances Update for FY 2010

On December 14, 2011 the US Census Bureau released data on state finances for FY 2010 here, including spending and revenue for each individual state and for all states combined.

On December 27, 2011 we updated state and local spending and revenue data as follows:

  1. We replaced "guesstimated" state spending and revenue data for FY2010 using the data from the Census Bureau.
  2. We replaced "guesstimated" local spending and revenue data for FY 2010 with estimates for each spending and revenue category using the trends in state finances between FY 2009 and FY 2010.
  3. We replaced "guesstimated" state revenue data for FY 2011 with data from the Census Bureau's quarterly state tax summary here.
  4. We replaced "guesstimated" local revenue data for FY 2011 with estimates for each category using trends for each category of state revenue between FY 2010 and FY 2011.
  5. We replaced "guesstimated" state and local spending and revenue for FY 2012 thru FY2017 with new guesstimates based on the latest Census Bureau data for FY 2010 state finances and FY 2011 quarterly tax data.
The Census Bureau expects to release local spending and revenue data for FY 2010 in July 2012.

Highlights: State spending on Welfare was up from a "guesstimated" $164 billion to $237 billion.  Business and Other Revenue was up from a "guesstimated" $174 billion to $456 billion.  This reflects the $289 billion profit reported on state pension plans for FY 2010, a partial recovery from the FY 2009 loss of $524 billion.

Democratic Capitalism

Three dynamic and converging systems functioning as one: a democratic polity, an economy based on markets and incentives, and a moral-cultural system which is plural and, in the largest sense, liberal.
