Budget variance calculator
Actual minus budget, the percentage of absolute budget and whether the difference is favourable or unfavourable.
How it works
Difference = actual − budget. Percentage = difference / absolute budget × 100. A zero budget has no percentage comparison. Positive income differences are favourable; positive cost differences are unfavourable. Explain causes from the records.
