budget year
Annual spending cycle
A budget year is a twelve-month period used for financial planning and accounting purposes, typically by governments and organizations.
It may or may not align with the calendar year: The federal budget year runs from October through September.
Often synonymous with fiscal year, though budget year emphasizes the planning cycle rather than the accounting period.
