Understanding federal revenue

Where it stands today

Total federal revenue as a share of GDP was 17.2% in fiscal 2025.

What do these figures measure?

Federal revenue is the money the federal government collects in a fiscal year. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) splits it by source in its historical budget data: individual income taxes, payroll taxes (the taxes that pay for Social Security and Medicare), corporate income taxes, excise taxes, customs duties, estate and gift taxes, and other receipts, which include earnings the Federal Reserve sends to the Treasury.

Each line is shown as a share of GDP, the value of what the US economy produces in a year, so that years of different size can be compared. A fiscal year runs from 1 October to 30 September and takes the number of the year it ends in: fiscal 2025 began on 1 October 2024.

What 500metrics adds: the newest year beside the year before, the last year with a higher and a lower value, and CBO's own projections, each in a box under its name and the month of its release.

What this number cannot tell you

Customs duties are taxes on imported goods. CBO's ten-year baseline lists them on a line of their own in its February 2026 release; its January 2025 and June 2024 releases, kept here, do not.
CBO restates earlier years when the Bureau of Economic Analysis revises GDP and when CBO updates its historical data. The history here is the newest release we hold, and the page says which.
CBO's projections assume that current law stays as it is. They are CBO's estimates, not ours, and each box names the CBO release it comes from.
Earlier releases of CBO's projections are kept in the tables, so that one year can be compared across releases. A release that gives fewer than five years of a measure is left out.
