Potluck planner
Assign categories before asking for specific dishes. It prevents six desserts and no serving utensils.
Use the calculator
Estimate how many main dishes, sides, salads, desserts, drinks, and supply assignments a potluck needs.
The interactive calculator loads here. Your entries remain in this browser.
How the estimate works
The planner uses one contributor for every ten guests for main dishes, eight for sides, twelve for salads, desserts, and drinks, and twenty for shared supplies.
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.
