Where Do My Tax Dollars Go?
You pay a lot in taxes, and you have a right to know how that money is spent. This has traditionally been difficult, but now TaxTrackr shows you what Uncle Sam does with each dollar you pay in federal taxes. Simply fill in the numbers to the right, and the table below will show you where your hard-earned money goes. Then you can vote on which amounts you think more or less of your tax dollars should go towards. As this tool continues to increase in popularity, we hope to encourage politicians to use the aggregate votes to guide their policies about how citizens really want their tax dollars to be spent, so be sure to tell your friends about it. Together we can start a peaceful revolution that truly empowers us to have a voice in how our money is spent.
* These values marked 'n/a' are due to the fact that the budget values for these items are negative, and therefore are not taken from the federal income tax.
** Social Security and Medicare are marked 'n/a' because they are taken solely from your Social Security and Medicare deductions, not from federal income tax.
