Key: estimated guesstimated — using federal budget

The table shows overall government receipts—federal revenue, state revenue, and local revenue—in the United States of America for all levels of government for the specified fiscal year. Revenue totals are aggregated for each major source of revenue.

Federal receipts for 1962 through 2013 is based on federal data on receipts in the president’s budget. State and local receipts for 1992 through 2013 are derived from spending, revenue, and debt codes in the Census Bureau’s census of state and local government finances.

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).
