# budgets.overview

Read spending budgets, reviewed actuals, upcoming tax and accountant obligations, reserve coverage, and future recurring purchase forecasts. Use sections to load only due, spending, reserves or recurring; omitted sections return empty arrays and recurringForecast null. No sections returns all. Recurring forecasts reuse reviewed charges, saved subscription status and accepted same-currency merges, with evidence, amount basis, uncertainty and per-currency totals. They are speculative future costs, kept separate from actual spend, tax liabilities and funding obligations. Reuses official compliance dates and reviewed GST/HST workpapers. Unknown tax amounts and stale or missing balances remain unknown; each reserve is counted once.
