outlays

Funds paid out

Outlays are amounts of money spent, especially by governments or organizations: Federal outlays exceeded revenues by $1.4 trillion.

The word carries a formal, accounting tone—you'd speak of household expenses but government outlays.

As a verb, to outlay is to expend funds, though this form is rare.
