Progress toward projected FY2025 deficit

Why It Matters

  • The deficit shows how much more the government spends than it collects in revenue.
  • Tracking progress during the fiscal year highlights the pace of borrowing.
  • Large deficits add to the national debt and increase future interest costs.

Methodology

  • Data source: U.S. Treasury Monthly Treasury Statement (MTS).
  • Projected deficit from OMB/CBO baseline for FY2025.
  • Cumulative deficit sums monthly shortfalls; progress = cumulative ÷ projected.
