I want to figure out an IT budget for my work, but I have no idea where to begin. We don't have that many machines (3 servers & 32 workstations) and buying is need based. But, it's a pain in the ass to get anything that we need because if it costs more than $500, I have to see the owner and do this and do that and wait a few days/weeks and then a decision is made. An IT budget would prevent overspending and still allow me to get something that is necessary.
Is there a standard formula I can use or something? If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be a great help.
