Source Data: Primary budget values use data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/39g5-gbp3.json (city_funds_adopted_budget_amount) and ugzk-a6x4.json (City Funds revenue) for FY2024 latest publication_date=20230630. Rows are filtered to the latest adopted-budget publication to avoid counting multiple plan updates. Vendors use Checkbook NYC spending API (payee_name, fiscal_year). Toggles add NYC OMB closeout obligations from fpfg-qx2w.json plus USASpending federal awards.
Scope: The primary view is FY2024 adopted city-funds budget authority. Closeout Actuals are OMB plan obligations and must not be mixed with adopted authority.
About New York City Budget & Spending Data

The Money Map displays source, allocation, and recipient summaries where available; it does not trace individual dollars between them.
An Enacted Budget by agency — the largest municipal budget in the United States. Every figure is taken from the published record — ImpactLine adds no estimates and fills no gaps a government has left. See the methodology and sources.
