Manager Accounts (MCC): About the Budgets page in your manager account

The Budgets page in your manager account lets you track spending, billing and budget information for all your managed accounts in one place.

This article explains what you can view on your manager account’s Budgets page. To learn more about setting up billing for your manager account, read Navigate billing from manager accounts.

What you can track in the Budgets page

The top segment in your Budgets page brings attention to incomplete budget setups and exhausted budgets (budgets that are active based on the start and end date but have no remaining funds). This segment is clickable and will take you to a filtered list of budgets that fall under each category. You can also see the status of your account budgets in the columns below under the 'Budget status' column. Ensure you address any incomplete budget or billing setups or add additional funds to exhausted budgets, to avoid potential disruption to your campaigns.

The columns in your Budgets page show the following budget information for the Google Ads accounts under your Manager accounts. Some columns appear in the table by default, and others you’ll need to add by clicking the column icon A picture of the Google Ads columns icon above the table.
