How it is calculated
Item amount = budget × item % ÷ 100. Cost per guest = budget ÷ guests. Unallocated = 100 - sum of percentages.
Example
Inputs: Total wedding budget = 100,000, Number of guests = 200, Venue and catering = 45 %, Attire and beauty = 10 %, Photo and video = 10 %. Result: Cost per guest: 500.00; Venue and catering: 45,000.00; Attire and beauty: 10,000.00.
Limits and caveats
- The suggested percentages are a planning starting point, not survey or market averages.
- It covers the celebration only, not the mahr, gold, home setup or honeymoon.
Questions about this tool
Do I have to use the suggested split?
No, it is only a starting template. Change any percentage to fit your priorities; any share left over shows as unallocated.
Why keep a contingency?
Extra costs are common at big events, such as more guests than planned or last-minute changes.
What is the cost per guest good for?
Compare it with venues that price per head, or trim the guest list if it is higher than you want.
