Understanding treasury, fiscal year to date

Where it stands today

The largest change over a year was Interest on Treasury securities, up 16.4%, in September 2026.

What do the lines of this page measure?

The Daily Treasury Statement is the Treasury's daily account of the cash that goes into and out of its main bank account, the Treasury General Account at the Federal Reserve. Its Table II lists the deposits and the withdrawals by category and gives, for each, the amount for the day, for the month so far and for the fiscal year so far. The fiscal year begins on 1 October.

This page shows six lines at the end of each month, from the table's own fiscal-year-to-date column: two taxes paid in (income and employment taxes that employers withhold from pay, and corporate income taxes) and four payments out (Social Security and Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment benefits, and interest on Treasury securities). The deposits and the withdrawals by category have a page each.

What 500metrics adds: the change over a year of every line, ranked across the page, which compares the fiscal year so far with the same point a year earlier; the last ten years of every line as rows of small charts; and a table of the change over a year in each of the last twelve months.

What this number cannot tell you

  • Each line begins in a different year. Social Security, Medicaid, unemployment benefits and interest begin with the fiscal year 2006, the first the statement is held for. The lines of withheld income and employment taxes and of corporate income taxes begin in February 2023: before the statement's format of 14 February 2023 these taxes were listed in another table, which this page does not read.
  • The Treasury has renamed these categories. Social Security benefits, Medicaid and unemployment benefits each join the older and the newer name of one category. The Social Security and Medicare line adds Medicare to Social Security: the statement listed Medicare as one category until September 2014, as two until March 2020, and since then as the two trust funds, the prescription drug benefit and the other payments of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
  • The statement counts cash when it moves, not when a tax is owed or a benefit is earned. These are not the federal budget's receipts and outlays, which count some items differently, and the Treasury revises a figure it later corrects.
  • The fiscal year so far restarts on 1 October, so the charts rise through the fiscal year and fall back each October. A month is shown once the statement of a later month is held, so the month in progress is not on this page.
  • The changes and the ranks are ours, worked out from the values the Treasury publishes; a change is in percent.
