What Is Zero-Based Budgeting?
Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB) is a methodical financial management strategy where every dollar of income is assigned a specific purpose. In contrast to traditional budgeting, ZBB requires starting fresh each budgeting period, allocating funds to expenses or financial goals with precision.
This approach promotes a heightened awareness of spending, leaving no room for surplus funds and ensuring that each dollar serves a dedicated role in achieving financial objectives.
