Set the reporting cutoff
Enter the campaign budget, start and end dates, and cumulative spend through the end of a selected day. Both campaign dates count as active days. Use complete days rather than partial-day platform reports so the comparison is meaningful.
Read the pacing measures
Planned spend equals total budget multiplied by elapsed campaign days divided by total campaign days. A pace above 100% means spending is ahead of that even plan. Remaining daily spend divides the unused budget by the days after the selected date. Overspend does not become a negative suggested daily budget.
Use projections as scenarios
Projected final spend extends the observed average daily spend across the entire campaign. It is not a forecast of auction supply, conversions or performance. Before launch the projection is undefined; after the campaign there is no remaining daily allocation. Export the worksheet to document your review.
