How the wedding budget is calculated
Expense subtotal = sum of all wedding expense categories. Contingency = subtotal × contingency rate ÷ 100. Total wedding budget = subtotal + contingency.
Cost per guest = total wedding budget ÷ expected guests. Budget balance = available budget − total wedding budget. A negative balance indicates a shortfall.
For multiple wedding ceremonies, enter the combined cost of each category, avoiding double-counting shared suppliers. This is a planning estimate, not a price quotation.
