# Budget Report
> Track financial health, effort variances, and project completion metrics.
The **Budget Report** is a comprehensive table that provides real-time financial and effort-based metrics for every project in your portfolio. It is designed to answer: *"Are we on budget, and how much work is left?"*
***
## **Key Metrics and Columns**
The report includes detailed columns for tracking various aspects of project health:
### **Effort Tracking**
* **Estimated Effort**: The original effort estimate for the project.
* **Budgeted Effort**: The effort allocated within the approved budget.
* **Allocated Effort**: The effort currently assigned to specific people/resources.
* **Billable Effort**: The portion of the effort that can be charged to the client.
### **Variance Analysis**
* **Budget Variance**: Total difference between used and budgeted effort.
* **Billable Variance**: Difference between billable effort and your comparison metric.
* **Allocated Variance**: Measures how closely actual allocations match the plan.
* **Actual Variance**: The gap between actual effort tracked and the original plan.
### **Completion & Extras**
* **Billable Completion**: A visual progress bar showing the percentage of billable work completed.
* **Unplanned Billable Duration**: A count (e.g., "0y 2m 5d") of extra billable time that was not part of the original scope.

## **Summary View**
The Budget Report allows you to monitor all projects in a single view, making it easy to spot outliers or projects that are trending over budget before they become critical issues. It serves as the primary bridge between project management and financial reporting.
