Similarly, you may ask, who funds the UN the most?
In absolute terms, the U.S. is the largest overall funder at $14.1 billion per year, providing 22 percent of the sample's resources. The U.K. is the second-largest funder at $7.6 billion (12 percent), followed by Japan at $5.4 billion (9 percent) and Germany at $4.4 billion (7 percent).
Secondly, how does the UN receive funding? The US is by far the biggest donor to the UN, in 2016 contributing some $10 billion of its $49 billion annual revenue. There are also significant non-government donors like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which donated just under $300 million to the UN last year.
Moreover, how much money does the UN receive?
In 2017, the the United Nations' revenue totaled US $53.2 billion. It's the most recent year for which there is data, and is roughly the same amount as Lebanon's GDP that year. With that kind of money floating around, it pays to understand at least the basics of how the UN is financed.
How much money does the United States owe the United Nations?
Of the U.S. arrears to the UN totaling over $1.3 billion, $612 million was payable under Helms-Biden. The remaining $700 million resulted from various legislative and policy withholdings.
