Party budget planner

Set the ceiling first. The suggested split can be changed once you know what matters most for this party.

Use the calculator

Divide a party budget among food, drinks, location, supplies, activities, and a practical reserve.

How the estimate works

The planner starts with two allocation patterns: one for a free location and another for a paid venue. Both hold 10% in reserve.

Use the result as a planning estimate and change it for your guests, menu, room, and local requirements.

Use the real headcount

Create the invitation and collect household replies before making the final plan.
