The Crown Estate operates across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The management of assets held by The Crown Estate was devolved to Scotland in 2016 and, as such, Crown Estate Scotland operates as a distinct entity from The Crown Estate and is governed by Scottish legislation.

In accordance with the Crown Estate Act 1961, The Crown Estate returns its net revenue profits to the UK Consolidated Fund - a combined total of more than £5 billion over the last decade. This money is used to fund vital public services across the UK in reserved areas. When the UK Consolidated Fund is spent in England, in areas which are devolved, the devolved governments also receive funding through the operation of the Barnett formula.

Details of The Crown Estate's revenues are outlined in its annual report and accounts.
