A little clarity
How this calculator works.
Enter your total event budget in Indian rupees, choose the occasion, and get a suggested split across eight costs. The starting plan includes a 10% buffer within your total.
How is the starting budget split?
These are the calculator's starting percentages for a balanced plan. Changing your focus or adding a fixed amount changes the suggested split. You can also adjust the buffer.
| Cost | Wedding | Private celebration | Corporate & brand |
|---|---|---|---|
| Venue | 20% | 15% | 18% |
| Food & drinks | 30% | 35% | 20% |
| Decor & flowers | 15% | 15% | 12% |
| Photography & film | 10% | 8% | 5% |
| Entertainment | 5% | 10% | 22% |
| Travel & stays | 5% | 2% | 6% |
| Planning & coordination | 5% | 5% | 7% |
| Buffer for surprises | 10% | 10% | 10% |
| Total, including buffer | 100% | 100% | 100% |
Are these supplier quotes?
No. These percentages are planning suggestions, not market prices, supplier quotes or an estimate of what an event must cost. The city, venue, dates, guest count and scope affect actual prices. Include taxes and fees in each cost. Personal shopping, jewellery and a honeymoon are outside this plan.
What if I already have a quote?
Open a cost in your plan and enter the amount. That amount stays fixed while the remaining flexible costs adjust to fit your total. Set a cost to zero if it is not part of your event. The calculator shows an error if your fixed costs and buffer exceed the budget.
Can I share my plan with the studio?
Yes. Choose Connect on WhatsApp after creating your plan. The message includes your event type, budget, focus and full cost breakdown. You can review and edit it in WhatsApp before sending. You can also copy the plan.
