How to read this
- Massachusetts state government payments (money paid out; source: Massachusetts Comptroller (CTHRU)), not federal obligations. They include federal grant money the state spends, so don't add them to federal totals.
- Massachusetts fiscal years run July to June (FY2027 started July 2026).
- FY2027 is in progress: payments through 2026-09-30.
- No year given: covers FY2023–FY2027.
- Executive-branch payroll after 2026-02-12 isn't in the Comptroller's spending data yet (UMass payroll is), so payroll and totals after that date are too low.
