Create a budget

AvailableReviewed 21 August 2026
Create budget form with name, monthly amount, team scope and alert thresholds
Sample form. Scope should match a team that can actually change spend.

Steps​

  1. Open Budgets and select Create Budget.
  2. Name the budget after the owner, not after the cloud (for example Data products).
  3. Enter a monthly amount.
  4. Choose a scope you can explain (organisation, team, service).
  5. Set alert thresholds (50%, 80%, 100% is the usual set).
  6. Save.

Expected result​

The budget appears on the list, current spend is compared with the amount, and a line turning amber is someone else's cue to look — not an automatic action.
