For every dollar New York sends to Washington, DC, it receives about 91 cents back in federal spending, compared to a national average of nearly $1.22.

That's according to a report from State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.

“The Empire State pays more to Washington than it gets back,” DiNapoli said. “A high-income state like New York generates more in federal taxes than other states, but we also have significant costs, and the continuing imbalance raises questions about equity for New Yorkers. Our Congressional delegation has pushed hard over the years to increase New York’s slice of the pie and these continued efforts should be encouraged.”

New York ranked 46th in the nation in its balance of payments between the amount it generated in federal taxes and the amount of federal government spending it received.
