Percent of Approptiation Types in Budget

As we already know, the appropriated portion of the budget includes direct appropriations, chargebacks, retained revenue and federal grants. (Trust Spending is the non-appropriated portion of the budget.) Looking at the FY 2009 enacted budget (before vetoes and 9C cuts) we see the following breakdown in budget types:

Type	Appropriation	% of Whole
Appropriations	$26,768,226,385	90.22%
Chargebacks	$297,945,821	1.00%
Retained Revenues	$460,019,850	1.55%
Federal Grants	$2,143,391,914	7.22%
Grand Total	$29,669,583,970	100.00%

As expected, direct appropriations make up the vast majority (a little over 90%) of the appropriations. Chargebacks make up a scant 1% of appropriations, and retained revenue makes up another miniscule 1½%. The remaining 7¼% is made up by federal grants.
