# Track your budget

Compare planned and actual spending for every expense.

All collections: [Planning tools](https://app.ueventi.com/docs/en/planning-tools)

Open **Budget** from the event menu and click **Add expense**.

- **Category** - for example Venue, Catering, Photography, Music, Flowers or Attire.
- **Description** - what it's for.
- **Planned** - what you expect to pay.
- **Actual** - what you really paid. Add it later with **Set amount**.

At the top you'll see **Total planned**, **Total actual** and what's **Remaining**.
