E-Rate C2 Budget Tool FY2021+

The C2 Budget Tool Data FY2021+ Set is designed to assist applicants in determining their estimated C2 budgets for each five-year cycle (the initial five-year C2 Budget cycle ran from FY2021-2025). The tool provides three different versions of C2 budgets: forecast, preliminary, and confirmed. The Category Two Budget Management Guide (https://www.usac.org/wp-content/uploads/e-rate/documents/resources/Category-Two-C2-Budget-Management-Guide-final.pdf) explains the difference between these versions. Information about applicants’ C2 budgets is based on the most recent entity profile and commitment data available, but it does not capture all data points that may be relevant for determining an applicant’s actual available C2 budget at a certain point in time during each five-year cycle. It should therefore be used for informational purposes only.
