Methodology and assumptions
The calculator adds fixed vendor categories, food per guest, a ceremony or event multiplier, and a contingency reserve. It subtracts confirmed family contributions, then divides the remaining amount by the savings timeline. It does not assume one tradition, religion, or family structure. Replace defaults with real quotes from your own vendors and family plan.
