How to read this
- California state government payments (money paid out; source: California Department of Finance (Open FI$Cal)), not federal obligations. They include federal grant money the state spends, so don't add them to federal totals.
- California fiscal years run July to June (FY2026 started July 2025).
- California's vendor files don't include state payroll, most Medi-Cal provider payments or entities outside FI$Cal, so they cover a fraction of the state's budget.
