Budgeting involves planning spending and saving based on expected future income over a defined period. A good monthly budget helps overcome unexpected expenses and reach financial goals by comparing revenues and expenses. It includes all cash inflows like income, assets, and liabilities, as well as cash outflows like expenses. When creating a monthly budget, one lists total income from sources like salary and investments, then allocates finances to both fixed expenses like housing and flexible expenses like entertainment. The total expenses, including debt payments, should not exceed the monthly income amount. Budgeting can be done for an individual, business, or specific areas like sales.

The planning of spending and saving money from the income about to earn in near
future and/or the planning of expenditures for keeping them under the shade of
revenues comes under budgeting based on defined period which describes if the
spending in budget is less than income, it means the estimation is under budget and
if the total income is below than expenditure, it indicates the need of reduction in
expenditures immediately otherwise debt will increase to fill the gap or will have
to increase the sourceof income.
A good monthly budget ensures helps in overcoming unexpected emergencies and
in reaching financial goals in comparison to revenues and expenses or may include
assets and liabilities.
We may say that budget is the name of cash inflow and cash outflow rounding in
assets, liabilities, proprietorship, revenue and expenses.

The budget includes total income which may be from salary, investment, interest
and other sources provide finances to expenditures and to debt payment.

something from income and spending may call budget either written or
kept in mind because nobody wants to go in debt because of this it is
said that cut your coat according to your cloth.
In these busiest days, the most of individuals and business men think the
budget is useless, waste of time, waste of paper and waste of labour and
do work according to cash flow but the concept of budget; spending
against revenues is in its place.
The estimation values shown in budget may be journalized to keep in
control the budget under accrual system and/or on meeting the purpose,
the estimation values can be reversed to keep them in actual position.
The budget is based on estimation values based on spending against
sources of income.
