Your Wedding Budget Calculator Questions Answered
What does this wedding budget calculator do?
This calculator takes your total wedding budget and breaks it down into estimated spending amounts for key categories like venue, catering, and photography. It uses industry-standard percentages and adjusts them based on your location to give you a realistic starting point for your planning.
How does the calculator estimate my venue cost?
The calculator allocates a percentage of your total budget to the “Venue” category. This percentage is adjusted based on the region you select, helping you understand what a typical venue might cost in your area relative to your overall budget.
What if my priorities are different from the standard breakdown?
That’s what the “Top Priorities” checkboxes are for! Select the categories that are most important to you, and the calculator will automatically allocate a larger portion of your budget to them.
Can I adjust the budget after it’s generated?
Absolutely. After your initial budget is created, you can directly edit the dollar amount in any category. This allows you to fine-tune the numbers to match specific vendor quotes or shift funds around as your plans evolve.
How accurate are the budget estimates?
The estimates are designed to be a strong, realistic baseline using industry data and regional cost modifiers. Since every wedding is unique, we highly recommend using these numbers as a starting point and then customizing them to fit your specific vision and vendor choices.
Can I save or print my budget?
Yes. Simply click the “Download My Budget” button. This will save a .docx file to your device, which you can easily print, share with your family, or send to your wedding planner.
Is this budget calculator really free?
Yes, this tool is 100% free to use. There are no hidden fees, and no signup or email is required. Your privacy is important, and no data is ever saved.
