Too many owner types and without knowing them all you can't accurately state.
I would say if you have a happy generous owner the chances of going over budget increase. But if he is a penny pincher then you will have way less.
I'm not even sure of all the owner types. My "gut feeling" is entire revenue on the avg would give more while owner control could result in more or less. It would depend fully on owner personality and goals.
Example I've had a generous owner increase budget after a horrendous season but then make a future goal 3 years in advance to have a certain budget surplus. Which is kind of weird because the forecast had him increasing budget each year but then he wanted a surplus which would have overall been less budget. Then why increase budget 3 years?
But I guess that is more to do with the broken owner goals mechanics. I still leave them turned on for flavor. And owner goals might not be really "broken", it could be just that its implemented so basically that it can appear to broken.
It looks like most of them are just random I'm not sure what checks are involved. But it doesn't seem to check certain factors that should be considered. And it just spits out a goal that might have nothing to do with your organization really.

setup a default league look at the Phillies and Padres. Phillies is generous while Padres is a penny pincher. Padres took in 220 million and their overall budget is 190 million. Phillies took in 230 million their budget is 264 million. I simmed 1 year. So if it was full budget the Padres would increase by 30 million while the Phillies would decrease by 30 million.
