The PoE devices is telling the switch that it might need as much as 30W (the budget), but at the time of looking they are only actually using 10.2W and 5.3W in my case. Therefore the switch would have a PoE budget of 60W and consumption of 15.5W.

Consumption is how much power is currently being used by PoE devices on that switch
Budgeted is how much all of the connected PoE devices have said they might need. i.e. a wireless AP might ask for 30W, but actually be only using 12W when you checked.

Switch PoE total power is 740W
Budgeted PoE power for all connected devices is 1008W
The budget can way exceed the total as devices hardly ever use what they budget.

If you go to the ports view and enable the PoE column, you can see how each device requests (and therefore the switch budgets) more empower than it generally uses:
