this is not budgeted

The insurance expense is not budgeted for fiscal year 2015.

Thanks!

kolokoy Is this correct? I think it actually needs another preposition: Insurance expense is not budgeted for for fiscal year 2015 . However, that is extremely awkward, so I would recast: Fiscal 2015 insurance expense is not budgeted for .

Actually, there is a transitive form of budget (no for), and that's usually the one that accountants use.

Merriam-Webster online has "to allocate funds for in a budget <budget a new hospital>"
