What is Budget pacing?

Definition

Whether spend is on track to use the monthly budget evenly across the month.

Formula: Monthly budget times days elapsed divided by days in the month

Compare spend so far with the share of the month that has passed. Large gaps either way deserve a look early, not at month end.
