How it's used

Refers specifically to the formal outflow of funds from a government or organizational budget. While it sounds professional and bureaucratic, it is the standard term used in news reports and official policy discussions. It is rarely used to describe personal spending, where terms like 使費 or 開支 are much more natural.

Common mistake

Avoid using this for personal or household expenses, as it sounds overly formal and implies a government-level budget. Use 開支 instead for general contexts.
