How do wedding planning calculators work?
Our wedding planning calculator uses the following approach:
Future Cost = Current Cost × (1 + Inflation)^Years
Where:
• Years = Time until wedding
• Monthly Investment = Future Cost × Monthly Rate / ((1 + Monthly Rate)^Total Months - 1)
• Monthly Rate = Annual Return / 12 / 100
Wedding cost categories:
- Venue & Catering: 40-50% of total wedding cost
- Photography & Videography: 10-15% of total cost
- Decoration & Flowers: 8-12% of total cost
- Bridal Attire & Jewelry: 15-20% of total cost
- Entertainment & Music: 5-8% of total cost
- Transportation & Accommodation: 5-10% of total cost
