Zero Based Budget

This is a method of budgeting where every dollar of income requires a job. This means you must mindfully think about where your money is going, or where you want it to go.

Planned Cost Balance

Total amount of money left to be planned for based on the total amount of income for the month. Your goal is to plan for every dollar without going over.

Actual Cost Total

The actual amount you have spent during the month. Your goal is to ensure you stick to your planned cost or make the right trade-offs to stay on budget.
