€2,100
84% of the planned budget recorded.
€400
Planned minus actual. This is not cash in the bank.
Every total has a source.
| Category | Planned | Actual | Remaining |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure | 1,200 | 1,050 | 150 |
| Software | 600 | 480 | 120 |
| Research | 400 | 360 | 40 |
| Administration | 300 | 210 | 90 |
| Total | 2,500 | 2,100 | 400 |
Simple formulas.
Visible assumptions.
Remaining = planned − actual.
Example: €2,500 − €2,100 = €400.
Used = actual ÷ planned × 100.
Example: €2,100 ÷ €2,500 × 100 = 84%.
Check the inputs before deciding.
- Replace the example period, currency, and figures.
