How do budgets for projects work?

You can use budgets in Zoho Books to store the ideal amount of money you would like to spend for a project as a whole as well as for individual tasks and staff. You can also store the number of hours you would like to spend for a project. After you’ve set your budget, you can compare the time and cost it actually took versus the amount you set in your budget.

There are four different budgets options available.

  • Total Project Cost
  • Total Project Hours
  • Hours per task
  • Hours per staff

Go to the Timesheet tab, select the desired project and click the Edit button.
