How much does peacekeeping cost?

The budget for UN Peacekeeping operations for the fiscal year 1 July 2012-30 June 2013 is

 about $7.33 billion .

By way of comparison, this is less than half of one per cent of world military expenditures

 (estimated at $1,738 billion in 2011).

The top 10 providers of assessed contributions to United Nations Peacekeeping operations 

in 2013-2015  are:

United States (27.14%)

Japan (12.53%)

United Kingdom (8.15%)

Germany (8.02%)

France (7.55%)

Italy (5.00%)

China (3.93%)

Canada (3.21%)

Spain (3.18%)

Republic of Korea (2.26%)

Many countries have also voluntarily made additional resources available to support UN

Peacekeeping efforts on a non-reimbursable basis in the form of transportation, 

supplies, personnel and financial contributions above and beyond their assessed share of 

peacekeeping costs.

Although the payment of peacekeeping assessments is mandatory, as of 31 December 2012, Member States owed approximately $1.33 billion
