Description
The average amount that you set for each ad campaign on a per-day basis. It specifies how much you are roughly comfortable spending each day over the course of the month.
Why it is important
Tracking the Average Daily Budget in a Google ad account is essential as it provides insights into whether the budget aligns with campaign goals and allows advertisers to make informed decisions on adjustments, ensuring that they are allocating their budget effectively across campaigns for optimal performance without exceeding financial constraints.
Formula
The amount of money you set manually
Calculation example
Let's say you normally spend $304 per month on advertising. To figure out your average daily budget, you'd divide $ 304 USD by 30.4 (the average number of days in a month - 365/12) to get an average daily budget of $ 10 USD.

Using this example, here's how you'd figure out your average daily budget:

304/30.4 = $ 10 USD per day (Monthly budget / Average number of days per month = average daily budget)

You can also create shared budgets, which let you set a budget across multiple campaigns.
