Plan a wedding budget by category
Weddings overrun because the total is set before the parts are understood. This calculator plans a wedding budget with a category breakdown, venue, catering, attire, decor, photography and more, so you allocate the total deliberately across the things that make up the day.
Why breaking it down keeps it honest
A single big number for a wedding is impossible to control, because you cannot tell whether you are on track until it is too late. Splitting it into categories turns an unmanageable total into a set of budgets you can each track and adjust, and it reveals where the money actually goes, often catering and venue dominate more than people expect. Seeing the split lets you trade off consciously rather than discovering the overrun at the end.
Control before you commit
The calculation runs entirely in your browser, so your figures are never uploaded and stay on your own machine, which matters for anything involving money.
