I think this is just for the UK not the entire British empire. Also the UK has existed since 1801 (apart from a slight name change when most of Ireland left the Union in 1922) so the term "UK" or "United Kingdom" is correct as opposed to Germany which had many names during this time frame

Well the industries that make military supplies can be pretty advanced and cannot be scaled quickly, so the days of sudden military spending seem to be over, now you need a standing military big enough to support advanced industry. And rely on stock piles of weapons.

I'm curious. Even the Qing Dynasty itself didn't know how much its military expenditure was. Where did you hear that? Did the emperor tell you this personally when you traveled back in time to 1830?

[@tarmnv]

While I do not know the exact answer for Qing Dynasty case, but most of "spending" cases in history were taken from the book records from trading guilds. They always have a very good record about what when and how much was sold. And they've been keeping their ledgers for centuries. Similarly, some of the spending can be calculated from the known proportions. Like you've got a record from smith's guild about number of armor suits ordered. You can use this record and a knowledge about typical soldier's gear to estimate the rest of the spendings.
