Frequently asked questions

What is Budget Rollover?
Budget rollover is the transfer of budget funds that are not spent in the current year to the next year or month. This prevents money from "going missing" at the end of the period and gives flexibility in managing seasonal expenses.
Should we increase the budget for all categories?
Not necessary. You should only add the categories where the expenses are irregular, like repairs, travel, holiday gifts, and the categories where the expenses are regular, like rent or food, you don't need to add.
What if we spend more than budgeted?
If one category is overspent, the other category should be reduced or the budget should be increased for the next year.
