This article is about the game concept. For the file format in savegame files, see Budget Subfile.

The budget screen is where you manage your city's money. It is a flyout screen in the lower right corner of the user interface, that can be minimized to show a summary, or expanded for a detailed view of the city's finances. The budget screen allows you to:

• Raise or lower taxes,
• Set funding for city services, such as schools or hospitals, either individually or as a group,
• Turn on and off ordinances,
• Manage Business Deals and Neighbor Deals,
• Take out a loan.
