The figures are approximate, and the exchange does not attempt a full fiscal audit. Crown Estate revenue is put at about £1.2 billion a year, while the Sovereign Grant is described as roughly £140 million. A larger itemized estimate of royal expenses is given as about £250 million. On those numbers, the institutional estate returns several times more to the government than the monarchy receives for official duties.
