Couple Wedding Budget Calculator — How It Works

Estimates a total wedding budget from the guest count, cost per guest, and fixed costs.

How it works

  1. Enter the expected number of guests.
  2. Enter the estimated cost per guest (catering, drinks, favors).
  3. Enter your fixed costs — venue, dress, photographer, and other costs that don’t scale with guest count.
  4. The tool multiplies guests by the per-guest cost, then adds the fixed costs for a total budget.

Formula

Guest cost = Number of guests × Cost per guest
Total budget = Guest cost + Fixed costs

Example

100 guests at $80 per guest plus $5,000 in fixed costs comes to $8,000 in guest costs and a total budget of $13,000.

Why this matters

Separating per-guest costs from fixed costs makes it easy to see how much the budget would change if the guest list grows or shrinks — often one of the biggest levers in wedding planning.
