4 . Types of Budgets?
There are four common types of budgets that companies use: (1)
incremental, (2) activity-based, (3) value proposition, and (4) zero-
based. These four budgeting methods each have their own
advantages and disadvantages, which will be discussed in more
detail in this guide.
1. Incremental budgeting:
Incremental budgeting takes last year’s actual figures and adds or
subtracts a percentage to obtain the current year’s budget. It is the
most common type of budget because it is simple and easy to
understand. Incremental budgeting is appropriate to use if the
primary cost drivers do not change from year to year. However,
there are some problems with using the method:
2. Activity-based budgeting
Activity-based budgeting is a top-down type of budget that
determines the amount of inputs required to support the targets or
outputs set by the company. For example, a company sets an output
target of $100 million in revenues. The company will need to first
determine the activities that need to be undertaken to meet the
sales target, and then find out the costs of carrying out these
activities.
3. Value proposition budgeting
4. Zero-based budgeting
As one of the most commonly used budgeting methods, zero-based
budgeting starts with the assumption that all department budgets
are zero and must be rebuilt from scratch. Managers must be able
to justify every single expense. No expenditures are automatically
“okayed”. Zero-based budgeting is very tight, aiming to avoid any
and all expenditures that are not considered absolutely essential to
the company’s successful (profitable) operation. This kind of
bottom-up budgeting can be a highly effective way to “shake things
up”.
