Budget Detail in EstateFlow Budget Master Module

To record costs in the Actual column under Budget Categories, expenses must be created for the respective Project, Sub-Project, Budget Category, Milestone, Task, or Subtask.

Data Synchronization:

  • Updates made to Project Budget, Budget Threshold, Expected Revenue, Expected Cost, and Contingency Funds will automatically reflect in the Construction Projects section.

Financial Calculations:

  • Profit Calculation:

    Profit%=(ExpectedRevenue−ActualCostsExpectedRevenue)×100Profit \% = \left( \frac{Expected Revenue - Actual Costs}{Expected Revenue} \right) \times 100Profit%=(ExpectedRevenueExpectedRevenueActualCosts)×100

    Example:

    Profit%=(10,000−1,378.3510,000)×100=86.22%Profit \% = \left( \frac{10,000 - 1,378.35}{10,000} \right) \times 100 = 86.22\%Profit%=(10,00010,0001,378.35)×100=86.22%
  • Revenue Deviation Calculation:

    RevenueDeviation=(∑(x−xˉ)2n)Revenue Deviation = \sqrt{\left( \frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{n} \right)}RevenueDeviation=(n(xxˉ)2)

    Where:

    • n = Total number of observations
    • (Mean) = ExpectedCost+ActualCosts2\frac{Expected Cost + Actual Costs}{2}2ExpectedCost+ActualCosts
      Example:
    xˉ=5,000+1,378.352=3,189.175x̄ = \frac{5,000 + 1,378.35}{2} = 3,189.175xˉ=25,000+1,378.35=3,189.175 RevenueDeviation=((5,000−3,189.175)2+(1,378.35−3,189.175)22)=1,810.83Revenue Deviation = \sqrt{\left( \frac{(5,000 - 3,189.175)^2 + (1,378.35 - 3,189.175)^2}{2} \right)} = 1,810.83RevenueDeviation=(2(5,0003,189.175)2+(1,378.353,189.175)2)=1,810.83
