Two federal fiscal years of the CBO budget history, side by side, with the change and percent change on every line.
64 fiscal years
Two federal fiscal years, side by side. Change is FFY 2025 minus FFY 2020 in nominal billions of dollars (not inflation-adjusted); percent change divides that by the FFY 2020 value. Across the 5-year span we also show the compound annual growth rate (the steady yearly rate that gets from FFY 2020 to FFY 2025), and each category line as a share of its section total so you can see composition shifts, not just dollar moves. The URL carries the selection, for example /congress/compare?a=2020&b=2025.
