Abstract from DBPedia
    A budget is a calculation plan, usually but not always financial, for a defined period, often one year or a month. A budget may include anticipated sales volumes and revenues, resource quantities including time, costs and expenses, environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions, other impacts, assets, liabilities and cash flows. Companies, governments, families, and other organizations use budgets to express strategic plans of activities in measurable terms. A budget expresses intended expenditures along with proposals for how to meet them with resources. A budget may express a surplus, providing resources for use at a future time, or a deficit in which expenditures exceed income or other resources.

    予算(よさん)とは、収入や支出の計画、また、一会計年度における(中央政府や地方政府の)歳入・歳出の計画。 日本語の「予算」には一定期間の収入と支出の予定や計画という意味があり、政府だけでなく企業や家計といった経済主体でも策定される。予算には、中央政府や地方政府などが歳入や歳出に関して編成する公会計のものと、企業などが収入や支出に関して編成する私会計のものとがある。一方、英語のバジェット(budget)は、もともと予算書を入れる革鞄を語源としており、一般的には政府が策定する強制力に裏打ちされた拘束力のある文書をいう。
