The Budget vs. Actuals view is your project's financial scoreboard. It puts your original project budget and your real-world expenses side by side, so you always know exactly where you stand relative to plan — down to every line item.
Budget vs. Actuals pulls your Project Budgeter estimates and your logged Expense Tracker transactions into a unified comparison view. Each budget category shows the budgeted amount, amount spent to date, remaining balance, and whether you're over or under budget.
Access Budget vs. Actuals from within any active project's Accounting section. Review each cost category to identify where expenses are tracking ahead of budget. Drill into any category to see the underlying transactions. Use the variance data to make real-time decisions about where to tighten spending or adjust scope.
Budget overruns are the #1 profit killer on house flips. Without a live Budget vs. Actuals comparison, most investors don't realize they're over budget until it's too late to course correct. This tool gives you the financial visibility to protect your margins on every project — not just after the fact.
