About the Federal Budget Data

FY2026 reported net outlays: $6.3T from Treasury MTS. Budgetary resources and Treasury receipts are separate series. Treasury net outlays include offsets. The reporting cut-off must be checked before treating a current fiscal year as complete.

Amounts are supplied by public-data APIs. Impact scores, status ratings and AI commentary are analytical content, not official audit findings. The API does not establish a link from each funding source to each function or recipient. See the methodology and sources.

From tracking spending to demanding receipts

Public money should leave a public receipt.

Today’s reporting can show spending without a complete trail to the final recipient or proof of delivery. Help close those gaps, strengthen checks before payment, and reduce opportunities for fraud and abuse.
