# Budgets

'Budgets' provides efficient management of cloud costs by setting cloud budgets, comparing them with actual costs and forecasting future costs. The “Budgets” tab allows you to set cloud budgets and configure notifications when actual budgets or forecasts exceed or fall short of a certain period. You can receive notifications in advance to prevent from exceeding or falling short of your budget and manage it efficiently
