Federal Budget 2026: Understand Public Finance Visually

At first glance, the federal budget looks like an endless table. With our interactive view at Federal Budget 2026, you can read revenue and spending as flows and jump directly into detail.

What you see in the chart

• Left: Revenue
• Center: Total revenue and total spending
• Right: Spending

You can switch between a compact 1-level view and a 2-level view. In 2-level mode, you only open level 3 when needed by clicking a node.

Drilldown without number overload

Instead of showing everything at once, you move step by step through the hierarchy:

1. Plan
2. Chapter
3. Title

This makes it easier to spot the largest budget blocks and separate major streams from minor details.

Compact value formatting

Values are shown in a compact way:

• Above 1 billion: Billion Euro
• Above 1 million: Million Euro

So you can compare magnitudes instantly without scanning long number strings.

Why this matters

The federal budget is not abstract policy only. It directly affects taxes, transfers, infrastructure, and social systems. If you understand the structure, you can evaluate political priorities much more clearly.

If you want a quick start, begin in the 1-level view, zoom into the largest nodes, then switch to 2 levels for deeper analysis.
