# Why is my budget different per brand?

Your budget is **assigned separately for each brand**.
Each brand runs its own co-op advertising program, with **different budgets, rules, and time periods**.
This is expected behavior and does not indicate an error.

### Why budgets are separated by brand
Brands manage co-op funds independently. This means:
* Each brand has its **own total budget**
* Budget amounts may differ between brands
* Budget types (e.g. Digital, Opening, DM) can vary
* Availability depends on the **brand’s program rules**
Because of this, your available budget will almost never be the same across brands.

### What affects the budget amount per brand
Your budget for a specific brand can differ based on:
* Your **dealer agreement** with that brand
* Market or regional allocations
* Campaign period (annual, half-year, seasonal)
* Whether budgets are **already used, pending, or reimbursed**
Some brands may also limit budget usage to specific channels or campaign types.

### How to check budgets per brand
1. Go to **My budget**
2. Select a **brand** at the top of the page
3. Review the **Budget Summary** cards for that brand
Repeat this step for each brand you have access to.

### Important to know
* Budgets **cannot be transferred** between brands
* Unused budget from one brand **does not increase** another brand’s budget
* Rules and approval flows may differ per brand
* Some brands may temporarily show **0 available budget** depending on timing or permissions

### When to contact support
You should contact support if:
* A brand you work with is **missing completely**
* Your budget is **unexpectedly 0** for a brand you actively advertise for
* You believe your allocation is incorrect
