Wedding Gift Budget Calculator (yearly cost of wedding gifts)

How it works

Gifts per year = Σ (weddings in each group × the gift you give that group). Travel and other costs apply to the weddings you attend (the first two groups). Set aside per month = yearly total ÷ 12, so the money is ready when invitations arrive. The amounts are your own choices — there is no official rule for gift sizes.

FAQ

How much should I give?

There is no official amount. People usually decide by how close they are, whether they attend, what the couple gave them and their own budget. Decide your amount per group once, then this calculator shows what it adds up to.

Why budget for wedding gifts at all?

Invitations often come in clusters, several in one season. Setting aside a fixed monthly amount avoids a surprise hit to one month’s budget.
