Adhering to a budget in business will ensure your ability to keep things running, help you plan for unexpected expenses, and help save money for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there\u2019s no shortage of options for you to consider when deciding exactly <em>how<\/em> you want to go about budgeting for your business, one widely adopted method among entrepreneurs is called incremental budgeting. If you\u2019re trying to find an approach to budgeting that will work for you, you\u2019ve come to the right place. In this article, we\u2019ll cover everything you need to know about incremental budgeting to determine whether it\u2019s the right method for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incremental_budgeting_explained\"><\/span><strong>Incremental budgeting explained<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what is incremental budgeting? An incremental budget takes the current period\u2019s revenue into account each month and uses that as the basis on which all other budgetary line items are defined, adjusting each by (as the name suggests) incremental amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll start by collecting numbers from a previous period, be that a month, quarter, or year. Break out individual expenses into their appropriate budgetary categories\u2014for example, salary, rent\/mortgage, utilities, material costs, equipment repair\/maintenance, structural repair\/maintenance, marketing, insurance, etc.\u2014so you can quickly understand your spending habits. Then, use that data to project your future budget by adjusting each category up or down, depending on your expectations for growth or redirection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incremental_budgeting_example\"><\/span><strong>Incremental budgeting example<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get a clearer sense of how this works in practice, let\u2019s consider salary, as it\u2019s typically the largest business expense you\u2019ll have. If you\u2019re trying to determine the adjustment for salary in a future period, you\u2019ll need to know what you paid your staff in the previous period and by how much that expense will be increasing after performance reviews are conducted and raises are determined. You\u2019ll also need to know how many more staff members you\u2019ll be bringing on as your business grows or changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you spent $100,000 in the previous year on four staff members\u2019 salaries, intend to give all existing employees a 10% raise, and plan to grow your business by bringing on three new employees at a salary of $25,000 each, you\u2019ll use the following formula to scale up this budget line item:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Previous years\u2019 salary + % of salary increase for raises + new employee salaries<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this specific example, that would translate to $100,000 + $10,000 + $75,000, and your new budget for staff salary would be scaled up to $185,000. Now you have a projected budget for this category and know what data points need to be accounted for when scaling the budget next time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to further develop your understanding of this budgeting model and help you decide if it\u2019s right for your business, let\u2019s explore some of its pros and cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_incremental_budgeting\"><\/span><strong>Benefits of incremental budgeting<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many reasons why this method of budgeting has been so widely used, and the specific perks vary based on the kind of business you run and the industry in which you operate. However, there are a few things you\u2019ll see in this method no matter what kind of business you\u2019re running. Here are our top three pros:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It\u2019s simple: <\/strong>Incremental budgeting is by far one of the simplest methods available to you. Rather than painstakingly running complicated calculations every period in order to get your business ready for the next one, incremental budgeting allows you to save time and effort by using the knowledge you have about your company to quickly adjust your budget where you need to.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It creates stability:<\/strong> Because you\u2019re building future budgets off of ones you\u2019ve already used, the budget stays pretty consistent from one period to the next. And if you\u2019re a business that has projects running over the course of several years, this also helps keep funding stable year after year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minimizes competition:<\/strong> Since all areas of the budget are generally increased uniformly, this approach cuts back on potential departmental rivalry\u2014no one feels the need to compete for their fair share.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach differs from more traditional, zero-based budgeting approaches in the sense that, rather than deciding how much to allot for each line item, you\u2019re using previous budgets, your current revenue, and inflation to dictate budgetary adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some criticize this method by suggesting that not enough thought and consideration are put into it, that is simply not the case. Budgets of any kind require care and consideration in order to be effective. One characteristic of incremental budgeting, however, is that you spend less time each month on the justification of each line item. Because you\u2019ve already done this in creating your first budget, it\u2019s assumed that every item included remains necessary unless a complete overhaul is conducted and an item is removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drawbacks_of_incremental_budgeting\"><\/span><strong>Drawbacks of incremental budgeting<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the benefits speak for themselves, there are naturally some drawbacks to consider as well. Here are three to weigh into your evaluation of the budgetary methods available to you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>May promote overspending:<\/strong> While it reduces interdepartmental conflict about who has more money, incremental budgeting sometimes leads to overspending when departments receive and spend more money than might be deemed essential.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Could reduce innovation: <\/strong>Another downside of incremental budgeting is that, because the process is so easy to replicate, it can blind you to other approaches to budgeting that may benefit your business even more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Doesn\u2019t take external factors into consideration:<\/strong> Since the budget assumes constancy and stability, some businesses have struggled to plan for and respond to unforeseen occurrences, resulting in financial setbacks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In any budgeting method, there are blind spots you need to be aware of and compensate for\u2014build this into your adjustment plan, and you\u2019ll avoid a serious setback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_incremental_budgeting_right_for_you\"><\/span><strong>Is incremental budgeting right for you?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Incremental budgeting is a popular approach\u2014it\u2019s easy to understand, and it\u2019s easy to implement. This makes it attractive to many business owners who are just starting out. However, newer businesses are likely to experience a lot of volatility. When the element of predictability is largely absent, it makes an incremental budget much more difficult to successfully implement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, established businesses have more clearly defined costs and a degree of stability and predictability smaller and newer businesses lack. Because their costs aren\u2019t as susceptible to unanticipated fluctuation, it makes it easier to use an incremental budget with confidence that it can help achieve growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, no two businesses are alike, no matter how similar they may seem on paper. Incremental budgeting may turn out to be an unexpectedly good (or poor) option for your business\u2014a conversation with your banker or financial adviser can provide much-needed clarity and help ensure you\u2019re taking your business in a smart financial direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve been in business for a year or two, the process of creating and implementing an incremental budget becomes easier. You\u2019ll be able to make use of the previous year\u2019s budget month by month to account for seasonal revenue fluctuations and adjust as needed for increases in your operating expenses. While inflation is typically the basis for increases, some businesses choose to incorporate other factors when making their adjustments. Keep this in mind when planning your own incremental budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bank_with_the_best\"><\/span><strong>Bank with the best<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A key aspect of any budget is making sure you\u2019re working with professionals who are equipped to help you save and plan for the future you envision for your business.
