Questions about budgets for agencies
- Can agency retainer budgets repeat each month?
- Yes. Recurring budgets support repeat periods while keeping earlier history. Choose the period and threshold that match the agreement, then review the remaining work when an alert appears.
- Does a 75% budget alert mean 75% utilisation?
- No. It means you used that share of the chosen budget. Utilisation compares billable time with available working time, which is a separate planning question.
