Enter Budget Figures

Why do we need to budget?

We budget in order to control spending and that it does not get out of hand. If a budget is followed, there will be no nasty surprises in the future with regards to financial matters. This can also help reduce wasteful spending that can save a lot of money.

Two main types of budget that will be examined. A household budget and a business budget.

Household Budget

How to Create a Budget

Business Budget

Here is an example of a company budget

Madeup Ltd. is a newly formed company. It sells hardware goods to businesses and individuals. The company realises that it must design a budget in order to control spending. The company must identify its expenses both fixed and variable. The company will then put in what they would like to spend i.e the budget figures. At the end of the year the firm will have recorded the actual figures spent. The difference will be either an over spend or and under spend. If its an over spend, this does not mean it spells doom for the company. This might mean more goods were bought in order to cope with demand. If there was an under spend, this might mean that business was slow and goods were not needed as expected. 

The same must be done for incomes. The company must budget figures of what they expect to take in and also record the actual take in figures.
