Select a budget for your Facebook Ads campaign that aligns with your business needs. Take into account your ideal customer, the services you offer, and your vision for business or goals when determining your budget.
Your monthly subscription includes your ad spend on Facebook as well as the subscription fee to run your ads and optimize your campaign.
Understanding your campaign budget
Campaign subscriptions for Ad Manager for Facebook Ads with budget range from $100-$1500. Once you choose a budget and launch your campaign, it renews automatically each month. If you choose to end your ad campaign with leftover ad spend, it's saved and added to your next ad campaign or can be utilised for other purposes of subscription.
For the first month, the monthly budget limit will be 3500$ and afterwards the monthly budget will increase for each campaign.![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/155026224654/original/B20rwZVwnoyhVJPUGDPBD5ORx50tqLaFLA.png?1715978048)

Setting a monthly budget
You set your budget as part of building your ad campaign from Ad Manager. The full payment for your monthly subscription is due when you first launch the campaign. The subscription renews monthly after that.
To set a monthly budget:
- Go to New Campaign
- Navigate to Monthly Budget (Step 2) in the campaign setup flow.
- Note: If you haven't started setting up your campaign you need to follow the setup steps before you can choose a budget.
- In the Budget section, Drag the slider under How much do you want to invest? to choose a monthly budget amount. See how much the monthly subscription equals per day and get an estimate of ad views on this budget.
- User can add other details of Ad Campaign.
- Click Next at the bottom to review your ad and budget.
The best thing you can give a campaign is time. Let your campaign run for a few months so Ad Manager can learn about your Ads, audience and conversions. The more data, the better it can optimize and deliver results.
Can I change my budget during a campaign?
Yes, you can update your budget during a campaign if the one you originally set no longer works for you. You can choose to increase or decrease the amount regardless of how far into your monthly subscription you are.
When you change your monthly budget, you are also starting a new subscription. This means that once you pick a new subscription, you pay the new amount immediately regardless of where you are in the current monthly subscription. Then at the start of the next month's subscription, your budget resets to the new amount.
If you have remaining spend from your original budget, that spend carries over and is included in the new monthly budget amount.
