Where the money goes

$183.9B across 36 tracked items

The largest verified line-items. This pie breaks down the biggest spending items in the bill — appropriations and mandatory (direct) spending — by category. Every dollar is quoted from the text; click any slice to read them. It is not necessarily every dollar in the bill (the smallest items may not be listed), and figures that aren’t spending — authorizations, guarantee ceilings, pay-fors, and carve-outs already counted — are deliberately left out and disclosed below.

In the bill, but not counted as spending

Loan-guarantee ceilings$294.0B

Caps on NEW loan or mortgage-backed-security guarantee commitments. No cash is spent — the government only backstops private lending — so these are excluded from the pie entirely.

  • DOE Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment loan-guarantee commitment ceiling (no cash outlay)$250.0B
  • DOE Title 17 loan-guarantee commitment authority ceiling (no cash outlay)$40.0B
  • HUD loan-commitment ceiling for green/resilient retrofits of assisted housing (no cash outlay)$4.0B

How this was built

Parsed the GovInfo enrolled XML with ElementTree; joined itertext() for a faithful text; attributed each dollar to its IRA-level section (excluding inserted quoted-block statutory text); every quote hand-verified as an exact substring of the joined source. 39 of 39 sampled figures were re-located as exact strings in the source text. Source: GovInfo enrolled bill text. Full bill text.

THE IRA IS A RECONCILIATION LAW, NOT AN APPROPRIATIONS ACT. Its operative verb is 'there is appropriated ... out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated ... to remain available until [2026-2031]' (121 'there is appropriated' clauses; ZERO 'authorized to be appropriated'). These are MANDATORY multi-year budget authority enacted outside the annual appropriations process, which CBO scores as DIRECT (mandatory) spending -- so every cash line here is tagged 'direct_spending', not 'appropriation'. Consequently the discretionary-appropriation pie for this bill is $0 (appropriated_total=0); the honest headline is that the IRA's spending side is direct spending, shown in its own disclosed block. TWO items are loan-commitment ceilings that spend NO cash and must not be summed with the outlays: DOE Title 17 guarantee authority raised to $40,000,000,000 (sec. 50141) and Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment guarantee authority up to $250,000,000,000 (sec. 50144); the associated cash is only the credit-subsidy appropriations ($3.6B and $5.0B respectively). A THIRD, HUD sec. 30002, caps subsidized loan principal at $4,000,000,000 (no cash) against an $837.5M subsidy appropriation. WHAT IS NOT ITEMIZED HERE: the IRA's largest dollar dimension by far is its clean-energy TAX CREDITS (production/investment/EV/manufacturing credits) and its REVENUE OFFSETS (15% corporate alternative minimum tax, 1% stock-buyback excise tax, expanded IRS enforcement receipts) plus the Medicare drug-pricing savings. Those figures do NOT appear as '$X for Y' lines in the operative text -- they live in the nonpartisan CBO/JCT cost estimate for H.R. 5376 (cbo.gov). Per the no-fabrication rule they are described but deliberately NOT given invented dollar line-items here; a CBO-sourced layer would add them with the CBO document + table row as citation. All 39 dollar strings below are exact substrings of the fetched enrolled text (verification: 39/39).
