New York’s Balance of Payments in the Federal Budget

FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR 2023

For the fourth year in a row, federal pandemic relief funds resulted in New York having a positive balance of payments with Washington. For every tax dollar New York paid to Washington in Federal Fiscal Year 2023, the State received $1.06 in return; the national average was $1.32. New York’s balance of payments was $912 per capita, ranking New York 42nd among states. This report is the ninth in a series by the Office of the State Comptroller that examines the flow of funds between the federal government and the states.


State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli quote: "It's important to have transparency so New Yorkers are empowered with information they need to hold their elected officials accountable."
