About

An independent single-purpose wedding budget planner.

Wedding Budget Planner is an independent, single-purpose tool: enter your total budget, see it allocated across the nine standard wedding categories, adjust anything, and export the plan. It is not affiliated with The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, or any wedding vendor.

Everything runs locally in your browser — no accounts, no signup, no email gate, and nothing you type leaves your device. The default category percentages reflect The Knot's published 2026 Real Weddings Study national averages and are fully adjustable inside the tool.

The site exists because every wedding budget resource on the search page ends in a download or a login. A budget you can open, use, and export in one minute on a phone is a better starting point than a template you never get around to copying.

The math on this page: category amount = total budget × share ÷ 100. On a $36,000 budget, 30% for venue is 36,000 × 30 ÷ 100 = $10,800. All nine shares always sum to exactly 100% — when you drag one slider, the others are rescaled proportionally so the plan keeps matching your real total.
