Description
Calculate a proposal's supplied budget share and remaining budget.
Community records describe contributions, volunteer time, grants, notices, language requests and meeting participation. Person-minutes differ from elapsed task time, assigned in-kind values require a valuation basis, and a nominal seat count need not be a whole-person allocation. Supplied participation or permission flags do not verify actual access, consent or eligibility.
Calculate a proposal's supplied budget share and remaining budget.
When to use this tool
Use Resident Proposal Budget Share when you already have proposalAmount, availableBudget and need to calculate a proposal's supplied budget share and remaining budget.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter proposalAmount, availableBudget. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read budgetShare, remainingBudget. Use the output convention below.
Require proposalAmount>=0 and availableBudget>0; return proposal/budget and budget-proposal.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| proposalAmount | Proposal Amount | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| availableBudget | Available Budget | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| budgetShare | proposalAmount/availableBudget; values above one are accepted. | Required. Finite number. |
| remainingBudget | availableBudget-proposalAmount, retaining a shortfall as negative. | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Oversized proposals give shares above one and negative remainder. No funds, project eligibility, approval, priorities or actual award is established.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review the underlying meeting, funding, service and volunteer records with the applicable project rules. Use full budgets, schedules and participation evidence when evaluating delivery or fairness; local labels and arithmetic retain only the stated assumptions.
