Budget vs. Actual Analysis Tool

Enter Budgeted and Actual Amounts ($):

The Budget vs. Actual Analysis Tool is an interactive tool designed to help businesses, financial analysts, and accountants compare budgeted figures with actual performance across various categories (e.g., revenue, expenses, and profits). This tool allows users to input both budgeted and actual data for specific periods and generates a detailed analysis of variances, trends, and performance metrics. It also provides visualizations such as bar charts and tables to highlight discrepancies and areas requiring attention.

This tool is ideal for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), finance teams, internal auditors, and students learning about budgeting and variance analysis who want to identify inefficiencies, improve forecasting accuracy, and make data-driven decisions.
