multi-entity organizing budget

Plan

All entities within budget

Each entity is solved independently. Allocations are planning constraints, not legally transferable funds — nothing moves between entities automatically.

CALC CAP: the budget is locked inside that entity's calculator, so it caps that calculation. The Overview allocation itself is not locked and can still be rebalanced.

Shared Expenses

Each entity receives only its % share (counted in its budget). Any unallocated remainder is counted once at the organization level.

Shared costs and staff allocations are planning estimates. Actual allocation methods, permissible activities, documentation, and transfers between legal entities require appropriate legal and accounting review.

Financial planning calculator only — not a compliance tool. Entity types are labels; nothing here determines what activities are permitted or whether funds may move between entities. Defaults are illustrative assumptions.
