It's $3.02 per week per taxpayer on TZD based on your figures (and $157/y). You forgot to convert to yearly cost or include other sources of government revenue.
That's total, not per year. The war has been going for more than 3 years, and some of the "aid" in that total occurred before it even started. Finally, it's considering both civil and military aid, and frankly who the fuck cares about civil aid (doesn't kill Russians, so I don't care, get rid of it). The 124b number is DoD spending (and assumes all of it was military).
Finally, that definition of taxpayer includes only income tax, which I'd be ok with because of hypothecation of the major sources, except that the federal government doesn't directly pay for anything using revenue since it runs deficits - more than 1/4 of all spending is debt, ($1.83t debt/y, $6.75t total spending: Of the remaining revenue, about half is income tax and a third are those hypothecated sources).
So the way it works out is that for each $1 the US government spends, 24c comes from medicare taxes and goes to medicare, 38c comes from income taxes, 27c comes from debt, 11c comes from other taxes. Since medicare programs, sadly, don't kill any Russians, for each $1 available to the US government to kill Russians, 50c comes from income tax, 36% comes from debt and 14% comes from other taxes.
So it's more like $157 per year per current net taxpayer, or $3.02/week each. The other then it's $2/week/taxpayer from China (that might get paid back in the future by future US taxayers, but more likely will get paid for by more debt) and $1/week/taxpayer from things like tarriffs.
