Shaadi Budget Calculator

Plan a Pakistani wedding budget item by item.

About this calculator

A Pakistani wedding can have dozens of expenses across multiple events — mehndi, barat, walima — and costs run away fast without a plan. This budget calculator breaks the wedding into item-by-item categories like venue, catering per head, bridal and groom outfits, photography, decor, makeup, transport and cards, so every rupee is accounted for before booking anything.

As you enter estimated costs, the tool shows running totals per event and for the whole wedding, with percentages that reveal where the money is really going. Couples and parents use it to set a ceiling first, then trim categories to fit — which turns stressful spending into a set of clear, conscious decisions.

Set your total wedding budget as the target ceiling.
Enter estimated costs for each event: mehndi, barat and walima.
Fill in each category — venue, catering, outfits, photo, decor and extras.
Watch the totals and percentages to see which categories to trim or increase.

Frequently asked questions

What are the biggest wedding costs in Pakistan?

Usually the venue and catering per head, followed by bridal outfits, photography and decor. Together these often take 60–70% of a wedding budget.

How should catering be budgeted?

Multiply the per-head rate by your guest count and add 5–10% for extra guests. Venues in Pakistan charge per head, so a firm guest list is the single best way to control this cost.

Can I plan for multiple events?

Yes. The calculator separates mehndi, barat, walima and any extra events, each with its own item list, plus a combined grand total.
