Wedding Budget Calculator – Estimate Your Wedding Costs
Planning a wedding is exciting, but costs can add up quickly. Our free Wedding Budget Calculator helps you estimate your total wedding expenses so you can create a realistic budget and avoid overspending.
Whether you're planning a small ceremony or a large celebration, this calculator gives you a simple way to understand where your money is going.
How to Use the Wedding Budget Calculator
Planning a wedding involves many different expenses, from the venue and catering to flowers and photography. Our Wedding Budget Calculator helps you estimate your total wedding costs so you can plan with confidence and avoid overspending.
Follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Enter Your Budget (Optional)
If you already have a wedding budget in mind, enter your total budget target. The calculator will compare your estimated costs against your budget and show whether you're under or over your target.
Step 2: Add Your Guest Count
Enter the number of guests you're expecting to invite.
The calculator uses this number to estimate your total catering costs based on your cost per guest.
Step 3: Enter Your Catering Cost Per Guest
Enter the estimated amount you'll spend on food for each guest.
For example:
50 guests × $80 = $4,000
100 guests × $120 = $12,000
Step 4: Add Your Wedding Expenses
Fill in as many expense categories as you need, including:
Venue hire
Drinks
Wedding cake
Decorations
Wedding dress
Suit or tuxedo
Hair and makeup
Photographer
Videographer
DJ or live band

Flowers
Invitations

Other expenses
Leave any fields blank if they don't apply to your wedding.
Step 5: Set a Contingency Amount
Unexpected expenses are common when planning a wedding.
We recommend adding a contingency of 5% to 10% to help cover last-minute costs.
The calculator automatically includes this amount in your estimated total.
Step 6: Click "Calculate Wedding Budget"
The calculator will instantly display:
