Understanding This Comparison
Federal figures are compared on outlays and receipts as reported by the Treasury and the Congressional Budget Office. The deficit is the gap between them; net interest is the cost of servicing past borrowing, and it buys no current services.
The federal fiscal year runs October to September and is named for the year it ends in, so FY2026 covers October 2025 through September 2026.
