You can use this information to estimate your spending and make informed decisions about your budget.\n\n## Viewing spending for your enterprise\n\nThe \"Overview\" page provides a high-level view of your spending and budgets.\n\n1. Navigate to your enterprise. For example, from the [Enterprises](https://github.com/settings/enterprises?ref_product=ghec\\&ref_type=engagement\\&ref_style=text) page on GitHub.com.\n2. At the top of the page, click ** Billing and licensing**.\n\nOn this page, you can view your usage in the following categories:\n\n* **Current metered usage:** The card on the top left shows the gross metered usage for your enterprise including all cost centers. Click **More details** to view a breakdown of the usage by cost center.\n\n* **By products:** You can use the product tabs to view usage and discounts for different products.\n\n > \\[!NOTE] When you enable GitHub Secret Protection, GitHub Code Security, or GitHub Advanced Security, there is a delay of up to two hours before the change is shown in the usage data on the \"Billing and licensing\" tab.\n\n* **By organization** and **by repository:** The two cards at the bottom of the page show the top five organizations and repositories that generate the most usage. You can click **View details** in the upper-right corner of each card to view all usage, including a breakdown by gross usage versus billable usage (minus any discounts that may apply).\n\n## Viewing prepaid credits\n\nYour prepaid credits are shown at the top of the page in the **Current included usage** card. To add more prepaid credits, you can contact your account manager in [GitHub's Sales team](https://github.com/enterprise/contact).\n\nIf you don't currently use prepaid credits, but have a volume subscription and would like to use credits, you can contact your account manager in [GitHub's Sales team](https://github.com/enterprise/contact). Prepaid credits are only available to customers who are invoiced (with or without metered add-ons). Prepaid credits can't be used if your account *only* includes metered add-ons.\n\n## Viewing promotion and discounts\n\nYou can see the total amount of promotions and discounts applied to your account on the Overview page. In the top right-hand corner of the **Current included usage** card, click **More details** to view a breakdown of your promotions and discounts.\n\n## Creating a budget\n\nAs an enterprise owner or billing manager, you can set the budget for your enterprise, an organization within your enterprise, or a cost center. As an organization owner, you are able to set the budgets for the repositories you manage.
