Expected pace

Expected pace is the level of spend you would expect at a given point in a period if you spent evenly toward the budget. If 40% of the month has elapsed, expected pace is roughly 40% of the budget. It is the baseline you compare actual spend against.

Expected pace is the simplest pacing benchmark — a straight line from zero to the full budget across the period. Actual spend above the line means you are burning faster than even; below means you are trailing.
