Previously requiring navigation to separate pages, AWS Budgets data can now be directly included in customizable BCM Dashboards, displaying budget names, amounts, actual spends, and forecasts. Users can filter budgets by name, threshold, and type within widgets, simplifying financial oversight across teams.

Budget widgets support export in scheduled emails or downloadable formats (CSV, PDF), facilitating sharing of budget status without manual compilation. These features are available in all AWS commercial regions at no extra cost.
