BLANK, we've used about 40% of the total budget.
Up to this point
These four words mean "until now" — everything that has happened so far in the project. The first letter of the first word is capitalized.
Up to this point means everything that has happened from the beginning of the project until now. It is often used in status updates or progress reports. For example:
Up to this point, everything has gone smoothly. — Until now, there have been no problems.
