BUDGETS! WHAT IS A BUDGET ANYWAY? A budget is a record of our planned income and our planned expenditure. It is a good way to see if we will have enough money throughout the month for our discretionary treats! A budget helps us to see how much money we receive and it helps make sure we don’t spend more than we earn. INCOME We record our income at the top of a budget. Like This There are many different type of income, such as…… Wages Pension Child Benefit Only add money you know you will receive to the table. This will make for a more accurate budget! We receive our money on a pay slip EXPENDITURE Fixed- This is spending the same amount on a particular thing at a certain time such as every year/month. You MUST pay this!! E.g. Mortgage, Television Licence Irregular- This is spending a varied amount on goods and services. It is called irregular because the amount varies each month, e.g. your electricity bill will increase in amount during the winter months. You also have to pay this. Discretionary- This is spending money on goods we want but do not need. We should only buy these goods if we have money left over at the end of the month. We record our expenditure directly under our Total income like this IS YOUR BUDGET A SURPLUS OR DEFICIT??? Surplus If your planned income is more than your planned expenditure. Surplus Income Expenditure Deficit If your planned income is less than your planned expenditure. Deficit Expenditure Income Ways to deal with a deficit budget! Cut down on discretionary expenditure- such as, holidays, new clothes, presents etc. Shop around for cheaper purchases . E.g. cheaper brands of food Spread bills out over the year so that you don’t have to pay the full amount altogether and therefore you will be able to pay for necessary items monthly NET CASH, OPENING CASH, CLOSING CASH Net cash is produced when we take the total expenditure away from the total income. This is the amount of money we have left over after all deductions(PAYE, USC, PRSI) are taken out and all of our expenditure is subtracted. This is the money we are left with. Opening cash is the money left over from the previous month. You bring forward the closing cash from the month before to get your opening cash Closing cash is Net Cash + Opening Cash. This is the money you have left over at the end of preparing your budget. BUDGET 2015 In the 2015 Budget, the water charge was introduced. This will have a massive change in peoples monthly household budgets. This will increase the odds of people having a low amount of money at the end of the month or even worse, left with a deficit at the end of the month. In 2014, statistics showed that people where spending more money on housing (rent or mortgage repayments which have increased from come 12% to 18.2%) instead of food ( which has dropped to 16.2%). Also there has been a sharp increase in fuel and light due to increased energy prices. The average weekly expenditure is €35.35, an increase of 15.3 % The amount spent on alcohol and cigarettes has fell by more than 16%. Transport decreased by 5%. 2015 IMPACTS • In 2015 the biggest impacts to household budgets show the cost of housing and rent to be on the increase while energy costs are showing a large reduction. • Two major impacts in household budgets is the increased costs of mortgages/rent, driven by the combination of LPT (Local Property Tax) and Water Charges. • The second major change is more positive, this is driven by a reduction in fuel and energy. • Unfortunately the cost savings in fuel and energy are less than the increase in mortgage and rent. FUTURE IMPACTS Future household budgets appear to be on the increase again due to several factors. The factor of income will also be required to increase to meet increase costs. As Ireland’s Economy recovers household budgets will drive the need for increased wages.
