Where the numbers come from and what they leave out

Source: the adopted text of each year's State Budget Act, as published by the National Assembly. Закон за държавния бюджет на Република България за 2026 г. (SG, бр. 69/2026)
“Expenditure” is row “II. Expenditure” of each institution's table: the planned expenditure for the year. Execution (what was actually spent) is published separately in the Ministry of Finance's reports and is not included.
Until 2025 the law states amounts in leva; here they are converted to euro at the fixed rate of 1.95583. The “As in the law” column shows the amount as the law states it.
A ministry's budget does not include the funds with their own laws (the National Health Insurance Fund, state social security), nor every EU-funded programme. The sum of all rows is not the state's spending.
Names follow each year's law; a renamed ministry starts a new history. The acts for 2010–2013 are not published with their text at the source.
