monthly budget
Four-week finances
A monthly budget is a plan for how income will be spent or saved over a single month.
It typically categorizes expenses—housing, food, transportation, entertainment—and sets limits for each: We went over our monthly budget on dining out.
The term can also refer to the total amount available: Our monthly budget is about four thousand dollars.
