How it works
Method
Expected spend = budget × elapsed days ÷ days in period. Projection = spend ÷ elapsed days × days in period.
Worked example
With a 3,000 budget, 1,200 spent and 15 of 30 days elapsed, spend is 80% of the straight-line plan. The current pace projects 2,400; the remaining allowance is 120 per day.
What the result means
Straight-line pacing is a planning assumption. Weekdays, seasonality, promotions and platform delivery can make the intended spend curve uneven. This tool does not change platform budgets.
