How the structure of spending changed
Each budget section's share of federal spending, year by year. To 2021: execution (Minfin data); after that, plans: laws and bills, each bar naming its document.
All sections in one chart
Each bar is all federal spending in a year, split into large groups. Solid bars are outturn; pale bars are budget laws (plans).
Shares are of the sum of all sections. Each year comes from one document that gives every section: outturn to 2021, then the newest law or bill (2027–2029: bill 615-9, from Minfin's table in its fiscal policy guidelines). No document breaks 2022 down by section.

Each section on its own
From 2022, execution by section is not published: right of the dashed line are plans, not outturn.
Where a law is shown as first adopted (for example 2023), its sections may have changed during the year.
Each section has its own scale; on the right, its share in the last year. Hover over a bar to see the amount and the document.
As a table
The section's share of federal spending. Plans (laws and bills) in italics; a dot means no data by section for that year.
