# Introduction of Budget Page

Admin users can easily create and manage budgets. The **Plan** **Budget Page** in Planful for Marketing enables **Admin users** to create budgets, assign ownership, and efficiently manage budget details and segments. Assigning a budget owner ensures accountability and better oversight of spending, while managing budgets ensures that allocations and forecasts remain accurate throughout the fiscal year.
