Planning an Indian wedding means juggling dozens of expenses across multiple events -- engagement, sangeet, haldi, mehndi, wedding day, and reception. This free wedding budget calculator gives you a realistic, category-wise breakdown so you can plan without nasty surprises.
Enter your total wedding budget, pick a style (intimate, moderate, grand), and tweak the allocation to fit your priorities. The calculator uses real allocation ratios based on typical Indian weddings -- venue and catering usually consume 45-55% of the total, while jewellery, attire, photography, and decor take up most of the rest.
This tool is free, needs no signup, and stores nothing. Use it as a starting point, then negotiate quotes from vendors against this baseline.
