Aug 31, 2026 · Radar do Voto Team
R$ 47.1 billion committed in federal amendments in 2025, according to an Ipea study. On Radar do Voto, the lookup is free: by municipality, legislator and area.
The map of federal amendments, municipality by municipality. Tap a city and see how much it received, from whom, to which area and how much has already been paid. In the example, Altamira/PA: R$ 31 million.
Legislative amendments in the federal budget went from R$ 11.3 billion in 2014 to R$ 47.1 billion in 2025, a real increase of 315% in 11 years. The data comes from a series of studies by Ipea (Institute for Applied Economic Research), prepared at the request of federal deputy Eduardo Bandeira de Mello (PV-RJ) and reported by Estadão on August 30, 2026.
The study measures the weight these amendments have come to have in the budget. In Health, for example, they already account for 45.4% of the expenses over which the ministry kept decision-making room, compared with 18.6% in 2014. Among the researchers' recommendations are ending the modality known as "Pix", reviewing the merit of amendments in the thematic committees and improving transparency about who made each request. The issue also involves the Supreme Federal Court, which began requiring a work plan, a specific account and accountability for this type of transfer.
The numbers match:
The data gathered by Radar do Voto follows the scale pointed out by the study. The platform records about R$ 46.4 billion committed in federal legislative amendments in 2025, practically the same amount pointed out by Ipea. The information comes from the Transparency Portal (CGU), covers the years 2015 to 2026 and the four types of amendment (individual, caucus, committee and rapporteur).
Transparency and access to information:
By gathering this public data, Radar do Voto makes it available for free, open lookup. You can look up amendments by municipality, by legislator (who directed it), by area (health, education, urban planning, among others) and by execution stage (committed, partially paid or paid), including special transfers, the so-called "Pix" amendment, with the destination recorded in the government data.
The purpose is to bring society closer to budget information. Instead of a distant total, you can check what was allocated to each municipality, by whom and at what stage of execution it is, which supports the monitoring and social oversight of public spending.
At the state level:
For São Paulo, the State Amendments Radar organizes, in the same way, the amendments of São Paulo state deputies, also free to look up.
The lookup is public, free and available to anyone:
