How to use the event budget planner
- Enter your total budget and pick a starting list for your kind of event.
- Change the lines to fit your plans and type an estimate for each.
- When you book or buy, add the real cost and tick “Paid”. The summary shows what’s spent, what’s left and if you’re over budget.
Tips
- Keep 5–10% aside for things you didn’t plan for.
- Ask suppliers if prices include tax, delivery and tips.
- Write down deposits as soon as you pay them, so nothing is paid twice.
Frequently asked questions
How do I plan a wedding or party budget?
Set your total budget, then pick a starting list (wedding, birthday party, conference or holiday) and adjust it: add what you need, remove what you don't, and type an estimate for each. As bookings come in, add the real cost and tick what's paid. The bars show where the money goes and how much is left.
What are the starting percentages based on?
Typical shares of a budget for that kind of event, such as the venue and food taking about half of a wedding budget. They're only a starting point: change any amount.
Is my budget saved?
Yes, in this browser, so it's still here next time. Nothing is uploaded. Download a spreadsheet (CSV) to keep a copy or share it.
Which currency does it use?
Any. Type your amounts in your own currency.
