We’ve made key updates to budget management in Ternary, giving you more control and context when planning and tracking spend across your organization.

In October 2025, we introduced hierarchical budgets, which allow you to break down a total budget across multiple dimensions such as projects, teams, or services. These individual values automatically roll up into a parent budget.

With this latest release, we’ve expanded that functionality to give you even greater flexibility.

What’s new

• Variable monthly budgets. Set different budget amounts for each month within a budget period. This helps account for seasonality, growth, or planned initiatives.
• Percentage-based increases. Apply a consistent percentage increase to monthly budgets, making it easy to model expected growth or cost inflation over time.
• Historical spend autofill. Pre-fill monthly budget values using your own historical usage data to save time and ground your plans in actual trends.
• Spend trend preview. View historical spending patterns directly within the budget configuration form to guide monthly budget decisions.
• Expanded dimension support. Budgets now support cloud provider-specific (non-FOCUS) dimensions,  enabling you to structure budgets around native billing attributes from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

Why it matters

These enhancements give you more precision and insight when managing budgets. Whether you’re planning for upcoming changes, modeling seasonal fluctuations, or aligning with provider-specific reporting needs, Ternary now offers a more flexible and intuitive budgeting experience.
