About this visualisation
You can use this tool to explore the 2026-27 Draft Budget allocations at different levels, from portfolio down to Budget Expenditure Line (the most detailed level available).
The values shown in the diagram and table are revenue only (so do not include capital allocations). The size of each node is scaled according to its proportion of the budget level. Different colours represent different portfolios.
The table also shows corresponding allocations in the 2025-26 revised base along with cash and percentage change.
Note – 2025-26 revised baseline takes the Final Budget 2025-26 as starting point with a number of adjustments see Welsh Government budget documentation for details.
Under 'view options', you can select to display the percentage change on the 2025-26 Revised Budget. In this view, the circle sizes scale with the year-on-year difference in budget allocation. The node colours are red for a decrease and blue for an increase with darker shades indicating a larger percentage change. Real terms calculation uses the November GDP deflator, 2.23%.
Controls for the table positioning and a full-screen mode are available in 'view options'.
