Where the money goes
$676.0M across 2 tracked itemsThis law mostly authorizes, it doesn’t spend. It sets spending authorizations — ceilings Congress must still appropriate separately — rather than handing out cash, so it has almost no appropriations of its own. The pie shows the small appropriated part; the authorizations are disclosed below.
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.
Authorizations (a ceiling on future spending) — $9.6B
“There are authorized to be appropriated $X” sets a CAP on what a future appropriations bill may provide — it is permission, not money. Much of a landmark law’s headline figure is this. It is disclosed here, never summed into the pie, because the cash only exists if a later bill actually appropriates it.

How this was built
Fetched enrolled XML via requests; faithful text via ElementTree.itertext() join. MilCon project rows (Division B) parsed from State/Installation/Amount tables (dollar strings verbatim); prose authorizations located by section. Public Law 118-31 (PLAW-118publ31). 33 of 33 sampled figures were re-located as exact strings in the source text. Source: GovInfo bulk BILLS collection (enrolled bill text, keyless). Full bill text.
CRITICAL MECHANISM CAVEAT: The NDAA is an AUTHORIZATION act, not an appropriations act. The operative verb throughout Divisions A, B, C, F and G is 'there is/are authorized to be appropriated' (116 occurrences) — a CEILING on FUTURE appropriations, i.e. permission, not cash. The actual discretionary money for defense is provided separately by the annual Defense/MilCon Appropriations Acts. Accordingly, ZERO line-items here carry mechanism 'appropriation'; the appropriated_total for this law is $0 by design, and that is the honest reading. Two genuine MANDATORY (direct-spending) appropriations DO appear — 'Out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, there is appropriated' — for the World Trade Center Health Program Special Fund ($444,000,000) and the Pentagon/Shanksville Fund ($232,000,000); these are tagged direct_spending (real outlays, not discretionary appropriations). The bill's ~$886B headline is NOT a single dollar string in the text: the big procurement/RDT&E/O&M/MilPers totals live in the Division D funding tables 'In Thousands of Dollars' as bare comma-formatted numbers (no '$'), summed across columns — not amenable to exact '$X' substring verification, so they are intentionally NOT extracted here. The cleanest verbatim, place-specific dollar strings in the enacted text are the Division B military-construction project authorizations (State/Installation/Amount), which dominate this extraction. Carve-out sub-allocations (e.g. CTR biological-threat-reduction $228,030,000 inside the $350,999,000 total; Merchant Marine Academy sub-lines inside $198,500,000) were deliberately NOT listed separately to avoid double-counting. Every dollar string below is an exact substring of the fetched enrolled text (all verification checks pass).
