## What is US Debt Now?

The US National Debt is public record. This app shows it to you plainly,
updated every day the Treasury publishes a new number.

Open US Debt Now and you see today's total to the dollar, what it was
yesterday, and how much it moved. Pinch the chart to walk back through
30 years of daily figures and watch the line bend. Scroll the table to
read any single day going back decades.

WHAT YOU GET
- Today's total, to the dollar, refreshed each day the Treasury posts it
- An interactive chart covering 30 years of daily figures
- A day by day table with the amount and the change for every date
- How much the debt moved over the last month and the last year
- No account, no sign up, no opinions attached

WHERE THE NUMBERS COME FROM
Every figure comes straight from the US Treasury's daily Debt to the
Penny record, the official total of debt held by the public plus
intragovernmental holdings. Nothing here is estimated and nothing is
projected. If the Treasury has not posted, neither have we.

The data used by this app is taken from the TreasuryDirect website using their "The Debt to the Penny and Who Holds It" JSON API service. Browse the Treasury website https://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/pd_debttothepenny.htm for more information.

US Debt Now is made by Moonwink Software, an indie shop in the US.

### 5/5 — Scary

*2026-07-03*

We need to pay this down.  Tariffs were a great idea.   We need to get people off welfare and make it. WORKfare.

### 5/5 — App has lots to offer

*2026-04-23*

Hi does anyone know how to spend this much to run the USA ?

### 1/5 — INACCURATE AS IT GETS

*2025-10-18*

it is the most inaccurate app I’ve seen based on it says that 1993 or deficit with that 4.23 trillion but now it’s at almost 38000,000,000 .And it consistently is going up with no hiccups and it’s just an inaccurate, everyone else’s almost $1 trillion less.

**Developer response:** The app shows the US Treasury's number, not mine.

Every figure comes from Debt to the Penny at fiscaldata.treasury.gov.
That series starts April 1, 1993 at about $4.23 trillion, so the 1993 figure you saw is the Treasury's own first day.

The trillion dollar gap is timing. The debt passed $37 trillion in August 2025 and $38 trillion on October 21, 2025. You wrote on October 18, when headlines still said $37 trillion and the daily figure was near $37.9 trillion.

It climbs most business days because the Treasury sells securities most business days. It flattened for months in 2025 while the debt ceiling held. Find a day where the app disagrees with the Treasury and I will fix it.

### 5/5 — US debt

*2023-02-06*

Good information, immediately

### 5/5 — National Debt

*2023-01-12*

Helps to keep track of what our politicians are spending. In my opinion every politician, government dept, committee, etc should start their day or meetings w/ this app & debt amount. I think then the government would be more cognizant about spending waste. I wish the app would show debt in relation to what it was a yr ago, then 5 yrs, 10 yrs.

### 5/5 — App has bugs

*2022-09-24*

Hi does anyone know how to debug this app?

### 1/5 — Show’s predictions of information

*2020-10-25*

Unfortunately the (+) & (-) of this information doesn’t elaborate where the money is coming from or going to. Otherwise that’s just numbers on a page. Without any traceability you really don’t need this app.

### 5/5 — The only app with this info

*2020-08-01*

Although this information is published for free online by our own government, it's at times hard and obscure to find these numbers.

I assume the developer is using either the DTS or the treasury direct api? In either case, it would be awesome to see a breakdown per security type / maturity date. Better yet, understanding how much debt is coming due each day, and then correlating that with what type of securities were issued that day to cover that redemption, plus add more "new money".

Another thing to consider, looking at the daily interest costs of carrying the growing debt. Surprisingly, it's gown down as the debt balloons! Seeing this in an app would be fantastic. 

You get 5 stars for even getting this info out there. Thank you! Also, loving the new updates.

### 3/5 — Would like to see more options

*2019-01-04*

The newer simplified view has fewer options. Would appreciate being able to make a custom range of dates beyond the standard ones, such as being able to zoom in on a past segment. Overall this still provides great information and is definitely useful, so keep it up!
