The Cost of War counter indicates the magnitude of cost of the Iraq War to U.S. taxpayers. It shows the amount appropriated by Congress spread out over time. It does not indicate the actual outlays or obligations as they are incurred.
The Cost of War calculator is set to reach $207.5 billion at the end of fiscal year 2005 (September 30, 2005). The Cost of War calculator is occasionally reset based on new information and new allocations of funding.
The site also gives comparative figures for how the same amount of money could have made a difference to Kid's Health or World Hunger or college Scholarships etc.
