*As of January 18, 2019, the government shutdown is ongoing.
Values have been rounded.
The source shows only the largest agencies and departments, although about 30 departments in total are without funding due to the partial government shutdown. The figure is therefore an underestimation of the cost of the government shutdown. The longer the shutdown continues, the higher the cost is expected to grow.
