+Budget management
+=================
+
+Budget management is based on the subtask time tracking, the user timetable and the user hourly rate.
+
+This section is available from project settings page: **Project > Budget**. There is also a shortcut from the dropdown menu on the board.
+
+Budget lines

+
+Budget lines are used to define a budget for the project.
+This budget can be adjusted by adding a new entry with an effective date.
+
+Cost breakdown

+
+Based on the subtask time tracking table and user information you can see the cost of each subtask.
+
+The time spent is rounded to nearest quarter.

+- Budget lines are the provisioned budget
+- Remaining is the budget left at the given time
