Frequently asked questions
Wedding Budget Planner questions
How does the wedding contingency calculation work?
The planner reserves your chosen percentage of the total budget. Remaining budget compares actual costs plus that reserve against your overall budget.
What is the difference between quoted and final cost?
The quote is what you expect to pay. Final cost is the agreed or finished price. Paid shows how much you have already paid.
Is my wedding budget uploaded anywhere?
No. Calculations and file processing happen in your browser, and your plan is stored in this browser only.
