A budget sheet, not a marketplace.

Free Wedding Calculator is an independent worksheet for couples planning a wedding, in any country. In the United States it can start from published national, state, and city averages; everywhere else you type your own figures. There is no account, no vendor directory, and no commission on the florists or venues you hire.

The starting numbers come from The Knot’s 2026 Real Weddings Study — couples who married in 2025, not a forecast dressed up as a fact. At 117 guests and mid-range pricing, the subtotal is set to the published average for your state, or for your city when The Knot published one. Intimate and luxury are planning factors on this site (72% and 170%). Guest count, season, and your own edits do the rest. The method is spelled out under the calculator and in the spreadsheet notes.

The total, the cost per guest, and the chart stay on the page. The Excel file is optional. Downloading it asks for an email and an unchecked box to join a weekly newsletter that is still being set up. That list is not sold. The privacy policy says exactly what is stored.

This is not financial advice and it is not a quote. When a vendor sends a number, type it over the line. The average is a place to start the conversation, including the one with each other.

The same people also run Snap9, where guests scan a QR code and upload photos and videos from their phones into one gallery, with no app or account.
