About this visualisation
You can use this tool to explore the 2026-27 Final 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.
With significant changes being made between Draft and Final budgets this year, two different comparisons are available.
The table below shows the corresponding allocations and changes from the revised baseline 2025-26 to the Final Budget 2026-27 allocations.
If you'd like to explore how the allocations have changed from the Draft Budget 2026-27 to the Final Budget 2026-27 then please see here.
The table also shows corresponding allocations in the 2025-26 revised baseline along with cash and percentage change.
Under 'view options', you can select to display the percentage change on the 2025-26 revised baseline. 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 December GDP deflator, 2.23%.
Controls for the table positioning and a full-screen mode are available in 'view options'.
