Description
The monthly spending limit is the maximum amount you can pay for a campaign over a month.

You can calculate it by multiplying the average daily budget you set by the average number of days in a month, which is 30.4 (365 days in a year divided by 12 months). If your campaign starts during a calendar month, we'll only take into account the days the campaign was running.
Why it is important
This metric helps control and manage advertising budgets effectively, ensuring that expenditures align with overall financial goals.

By monitoring the Monthly spending limit, advertisers can make informed decisions about budget allocation, optimize campaign performance, and prevent unexpected overages, contributing to a more controlled and strategic approach to advertising spend.
Formula
Average daily budget you set * Average number of days in a month (30.4)
Calculation example
For instance, if your average daily budget is set to $10 USD, your monthly spending limit is going to be $10 USD * 30.4 = $304 USD.
