Budget - Definition

Your Microsoft Advertising budget is the limit you want to spend each day. Microsoft Advertising will stop displaying your ads when you reach that budget.

What it is

When you create a Microsoft Advertising campaign, one of the first things you have to do is set a budget. Your budget tells Microsoft Advertising the limit you want to spend per day on your campaign.
