title: Set budgets
description: Track employee spending across categories and tags
---
<div id="expensify-classic" markdown="1">

Expensify allows workspace admins to create budgets to:
- Set monthly and yearly budget caps
- Track spending across categories and tags
- Get notified when a budget reaches a certain limit

You can set budgets for specific categories and/or tags.
- **Category budgets**: Add budgets for different expense types like fees, office supplies, travel, meals and entertainment, and more.
- **Tag budgets**: Add budgets for different departments, projects, locations, cost centers, customers, etc.

{% include info.html %}
Budgets can only be added to Control workspaces. This feature is not available for Collect workspaces.
{% include end-info.html %}

# Set category budgets

Once you create your categories, you can enable a budget for each category using the following steps:

1. Hover over Settings, then click **Workspaces**.
2. Click the **Group** tab on the left.
3. Click the desired workspace name.
4. Click the **Categories** tab.
5. Click **Edit** next to the category you want to add a budget to.
6. Click the **Budget** tab at the top.
7. Click the toggle to enable budgets (the dot will be green when enabled).
8. Select your budget settings:
- **Budget frequency**: Determine if it will be a monthly or yearly budget.
- **Total workspace budget**: To set an overall budget cap for the workspace, enter the cap amount into the field.
- **Per individual budget**: To set a budget for each member of the workspace, enter the cap amount into the field.
- **Notification threshold**: You’ll automatically receive a notification when 100% of your set budgets have been reached. To receive an additional notification when your budget has reached a specific percentage, enter the percent amount into the field.
9. Click **Save**.
