The commonwealth collected $3.3 billion in General Fund revenues in July, an increase of 10.6% when compared to July of 2025.

The official revenue estimate for FY 2026/27 was certified on July 12, 2026, and stands at $50.6 billion because of the budget being enacted[1]. Since the official estimate is certified, the Department of Revenue will prepare a monthly revenue projection during the later part of the month of August 2026.
