The White House’s fiscal 2027 IT budget calls for a return to pre-Trump levels and then some.
Though the proposal from President Donald Trump is just a starting point for haggling in Congress over what will ultimately be spent, the summary document released Friday projects $75.7 billion in federal civilian IT spending, up from $67.9 billion in fiscal 2026 and $75.1 in fiscal 2025. It doesn’t include the Department of Defense’s IT budget request, which in fiscal 2026 was a whopping $66.1 billion on its own.
Despite the upward trend for overall spending on tech, OMB’s budget request calls for a small decrease in funding for cybersecurity across all civilian agencies — falling from about $12.5 billion this year to $12.2 billion for 2027. This trend tracks with the Trump administration’s decision to cut the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s budget by $707 million.
The largest IT investments are slated for the Department of Veterans Affairs ($12.2 billion), the Department of Homeland Security ($11.7 billion) and the Department of Health and Human Services ($9.5 billion). Each of those spends represents at least a 12.5% share of that agency’s overall budget.
