Largest Contributors to the UN Regular Budget 2025
Key Findings
About This Dataset
Largest Contributors to the UN Regular Budget 2025The United States is the single largest contributor to the UN regular budget at about $827 million, the maximum any country pays under the 22% assessment ceiling. China is now a clear second at roughly $686 million - a share that has climbed steeply with its economy and now far exceeds every other country except the US. Japan ($237M) and Germany ($195M) are the next largest, followed by the United Kingdom ($137M) and France ($132M). The remaining top contributors - Italy, Canada, South Korea and Australia - each pay under $100 million. The steep drop after the top two shows how heavily UN funding rests on its two biggest economies, and how China's rising assessment has reshaped the traditional Western-dominated funding structure.
