How to Use This Guest List Cost Calculator
This tool helps you estimate the total cost of your guest list by breaking it down into categories. For each group (e.g., Family, Friends), you enter the number of guests and the per‑head cost (what you expect to spend per person in that group). The calculator then shows you the subtotal for each category, the overall total cost, and the average cost per guest.
Add as many categories as you need — the list is unlimited. Use the "Clear all" button to reset everything. All data stays in your browser, so you can refresh without losing your numbers (until you close the tab).
Why Track Guest Costs Separately?
Different groups may have different cost implications — for example, family members might be local (lower travel costs) while colleagues might need special accommodation. This calculator lets you model different per‑head costs to get a more accurate total.
