Show expected total $ in budget
it is important to see also the open expected outstanding amount to receive for the projects.
Therefore the budget calculation for the amount should be implemented.
budget h * h-ratio = budget amount
outstanding h * h-ratio = outstanding budget amount

Until I tried using the "budget" and "budget left" fields I had no idea they related to "budgeted time". The word budget is rarely used in the context of time and almost always in terms of money. Since there are other fields relating to money in this tab it makes it even more strange to use "budget" for time. Why not just say "time allotted" and "time left"? The "budget" field should be for budgeted money for the task and "budget left" should be for the budgeted money minus hourly fee times hours worked. It is far more useful to know when the budgeted money is running out that time allotted. Better yet is to have all of these fields.

Is this the same as showing projected revenue based on budgeted hours and fees, and also showing in another column the actual revenue based on tracked effort? I don't know if I should add this as a separate request or not.

If you decide to work on that, it might be a good idea to include
Budgeted cost (BC), budgeted revenue (BR), budgeted earning ( BR -BC)
