About New York City Budget & Spending Data

This page is built from three separate datasets: the Enacted Budget, by department; Actual Spending, reported afterwards; and Federal Awards paid into New York City. The Money Map view traces funding sources through departments to the recipients at the end.

An Enacted Budget by agency — the largest municipal budget in the United States. Every figure is taken from the published record — ImpactLine adds no estimates and fills no gaps a government has left. See the methodology and sources.
