Wedding budget calculator

Free wedding budget calculator: enter your total, guests and city to get a category-by-category split with sourced averages.

How much should I spend on a wedding?

The Knot 2025 Real Weddings Study reports an average of $33,000 for 2024 weddings and about $15,000 for fewer than 50 guests, $42,000 for more than 100. Your own number depends on city, guests and date.

How is the budget split?

Venue, catering, photography, flowers and music use published averages; the other lines use labelled editorial weights. It is a starting point, not a quote.

Is the calculator free?

Yes. No account is needed and couples never pay.
