## Overview

Your learning budget is the spending allowance your organization gives you to grow — courses, books, certifications, conferences, and more. You see what you have, request what you want, and the platform handles the payment.

***

## What is a credit?

A **credit** is a budget category. Your admin breaks the total budget into named buckets so spend stays organized and policies can apply differently to different kinds of learning.

| Credit type  | Typical use                                                               |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Personal** | Self-directed development you choose for yourself                         |
| **Team**     | Spend pooled with your team — shared learning goals                       |
| **Company**  | Org-wide allocations (compliance, mandatory training, all-hands learning) |
| **Ad-hoc**   | One-off allocations for specific events, projects, or campaigns           |

Each credit type has its own balance and its own approval rules. When you submit a request, the right credit is picked based on what you're requesting and what your admin set up.

***

## Where to see your budget

Open **My Wallet** — the wallet icon in the top-right of the Catalog. You'll see:

* Your remaining balance per credit type
* Pending requests awaiting approval
* Approved requests awaiting your action (redeem voucher, upload receipt, use card)
* Recent activity

<Note>
  Don't see a wallet icon? Your organization may not have the LXP module enabled, or you may not have any credits allocated yet. Contact your admin.
</Note>

***

## What you can do with your budget

* **Request a course** from the catalog — picks a paid Udemy / Coursera / etc. course and submits it for approval.
* **Submit a custom request** for content not in the catalog — paste a URL and an estimated cost.
* **Track requests** — see status, approver, and next step on each one.
* **Use a voucher or card** once your request is approved.

For the request lifecycle in detail, see [Learning Requests](/budget/requests). For what happens after approval, see [Vouchers (Credit Cards)](/budget/vouchers).
