Her Majesty’s Treasury release an annual report, European Union Finances (the latest of which was released in March 2018). This report details the UK’s financial relationship with the EU, including our contributions, receipts and rebate. Chart 3.C details each member state’s average net contribution to the EU budget as a percentage of gross national income for the years 2012-2016.

The financial relationship between the EU and other member states are detailed in the European Commission publication, the EU Budget Financial Report, the most recent of these being in 2016. This report includes a breakdown of member state contributions and receipts. The latest report can be found on the European Commission’s website.
