25th January 2026
government spent $1,827,134,000,000—and, according to the Treasury Department, ran a deficit of $602,376,000,000.
The federal debt closed the calendar year at $38,514,009,184,232.72. That equaled approximately $285,733 for each of the 134,790,000 households there were in the United States in 2025, according to the Census Bureau.
