DOGE Balance — 3 numbers, 3 sentences
DOGE reports $215 billion saved in total. That is $1,335.40 per taxpayer, using DOGE's count of 161 million taxpayers. DOGE's own page was last updated January 1, 2026 — and the total has not moved since then. When that number changes, this board changes with it.
Road to $250B

Do they add up to $215B?
No — $61B + $49B + $113M is about $110B. The rest of DOGE's total comes from the other kinds on their list: asset sales, stopping wrong payments, program and rule changes, and fewer workers. We show both numbers, exactly as DOGE gives them.
