Starting with the 1986 budget, the Office of Management and Budget provides six years of estimated spending for each function and subfunction extending from the fiscal year in which the federal budget is published to five years into the future. For instance, the 1986 budget historical tables included estimates for FY85, FY86, FY87, FY88, FY89, and FY90. Starting with FY90, OMB will have made six estimates of spending for each year before the actual spending for a fiscal year is reported.

The table shows overall budgeted federal expenditures for major functions for the specified fiscal year, as estimated in the historical tables in several presidential budgets. You can compare these estimates with the actual expenditures for the fiscal year as reported in the budget historical tables after the specified fiscal year is over.

You can change the year or drill down to view more detailed spending information.

In 1911... at least nine million of the 12 million covered by national insurance were already members of voluntary sick pay schemes. A similar proportion were also eligible for medical care.
