In Databox, companies can report on their spend, expenses or other metrics and measure it towards their allocated budget.

How to calculate remaining budget

You can calculate the remaining budget by subtracting your Cost/Spend/Expenses metric from either a fixed budget value using Data Calculations, or by creating a Goal and subtracting the metric from the goal metric.


PRO TIP: You can create a Goal for the Spend metrics and set up Alerts to get notified whenever you hit or surpass your budget.
