Plan your wedding budget
Allocate every dollar, keep a reserve, and compare estimates against real quotes.
One category|weight per line. These are your allocation weights, not market averages.
No account required. Inputs stay in this browser until you choose to import them.
How this tool works
After reserving contingency, the remaining amount is allocated in proportion to your weights. Whole-cent rounding is reconciled so the total exactly matches your budget.
