About this Visualization
Visualization of the German Federal Budget 2026 planned values according to the Federal Ministry of Finance
This visualization provides deep insight into the structure of federal finances. Explore the origin of funds on the left side and their use in various spending plans on the right side.
What this view shows
Germany's 2026 federal budget describes where the federal government plans to spend money and which revenue streams finance that spending. The Sankey view helps reveal large budget blocks as well as smaller titles that only become visible after drilling down.
How to read it
Begin with the total budget, then move from plan to chapter and title. This keeps the big picture intact while still letting you inspect individual policy areas, administrative costs, investment lines, and transfers in more detail.
Context and limits
The chart is an explanatory public-finance tool, not a legal budget commentary. It is meant to make planned values easier to compare and to support better discussions about taxes, spending priorities, infrastructure, security, and social programmes.
