How to read this
- New York City government payments (money paid out; source: NYC Comptroller (Checkbook NYC)), not federal obligations. They include federal and state grant money the city spends, so don't add them to federal or state totals.
- New York City fiscal years run July to June (FY2027 started July 2026).
- New York City's checkbook shows payroll as summary lines per unit, withholds some payee names for privacy, and doesn't cover the City's independent authorities (MTA, NYCHA, Health + Hospitals pay from their own books).
- Payees only: payroll, summary lines and transfers between agencies are left out.
