How to use Party Budget Progress Calculator
1. Choose Currency for all amounts, then enter Amount Saved or Spent (Choose One Basis), Budget or Goal in the labelled units. 2. The budget or goal must be positive. Above 100% means above the goal or budget; it is not clamped. Saved progress and spent-budget usage have different meanings, so choose one basis.

Why use this tool?
Use Party Budget Progress Calculator to compare your entered party budget assumptions with a stated formula and a reproducible example.
How the calculation works
Progress = amount saved or spent ÷ budget or goal × 100. The budget or goal must be positive. Above 100% means above the goal or budget; it is not clamped. Saved progress and spent-budget usage have different meanings, so choose one basis. A per-person average does not separate fixed venue costs from variable guest costs or establish a suitable spending limit. Choose one currency for every monetary input. The selector labels and formats amounts; it does not apply an exchange rate. Money displays use the selected currency’s standard minor units, including whole yen for JPY. Exact decimal arithmetic precedes rounding; halfway minor units round away from zero. Numeric input/result magnitudes are bounded by 9,007,199,254,740,991.
Example
Party Budget example: Currency = GBP; Amount Saved or Spent (Choose One Basis) = 150; Budget or Goal = 300. Result: 50%.
Practical tip
Count the guests covered by the budget and include only the food, venue and other costs you intend to share.
