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.

All federal receipts prior to 2018, state revenue prior to 2016 and local revenue prior to 2016 are actual. More recent spending, including future years out to 2023, are budgeted, estimated, or guesstimated.

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).

US, State Population Update for 2017

On December 20, 2017 the US Census Bureau released its US national and state population estimates for July 1, 2017. On December 31, 2017 usgovernmentspending.com updated its US and state population data as follows:

We updated 2010-2017 population data for US and states using data from US Census Bureau Population Estimates: vintage 2017 in file nst-est2017-01.xlsx.
We projected 2018 thru 2022 for US and the states assuming population rate change for 2016-17.
We updated 2018 thru 2022 for US only using data from US Census Bureau 2014 National Population Projections in file NP2014-T1.xls.

usgovernmentspending.com uses population data in computing per capita spending and revenue data. You can see per capita spending data in a chart here, and in a table of spending here.
