Glacier budget refers to the balance develop between the amount of ice accumulate in a region and the amount of ice being lost through processes like sublimation, melting of ice and breaking of the icebergs.  It follows two zones.

Accumulation zone:  In this zone, the extent of accumulation of ice exceeds over the extent of melting.

Ablation or wasting zone: In this zone, the extent of wasting of ice due to reasons like melting, sublimation and others exceeds over the extent of accumulation of ice.
