Dashboards
Pre-built analytical views of U.S. public finance and economic data. Each dashboard combines multiple indicators with KPIs, charts, tables, and full export capability.
How these dashboards fit together
The federal spending dashboards on this site assemble the core primary-source datasets for understanding US public finance: the national debt and its composition, monthly receipts and outlays from the Treasury, interest expense against revenue, revenue composition by source, inflation and labor data from BLS, Treasury interest rates, state and local finance, and recent congressional activity. Each pulls from the authoritative issuer — Treasury Fiscal Data, FRED, BLS, or Congress.gov — with no intermediate aggregation.
They are built to be read together. The debt dashboard shows the stock; receipts and outlays show the flow that adds to it; interest expense shows the growing claim that stock makes on each year's revenue. Revenue composition shows where the money comes from, inflation and labor show the macro backdrop that shapes those flows, and congressional activity shows the legal mechanisms by which spending levels change. Every underlying series is available as CSV and JSON in Downloads, refreshed daily alongside the dashboards.
