Extracted from Salem, NH's own budget document. Every figure below adds up to the total the city printed in that document; nothing is estimated. A person still checks these numbers against the city's published pages before OpenGovs calls them verified data.
Off the map: Fire Department — Suppression ($14.1M), Police Department — Patrol ($7.29M), Capital ($5.67M) — spending the document does not tie to a building.
No automated flags for FY2026.
The town website states the March 10, 2026 Town Meeting operating budget as $71,994,466. The published budget book's own Grand Total is $75,839,658, which includes capital improvements, separate warrant articles, and the water and sewer enterprise funds.
