total = people × gift + guests × cost per guest + other · weekly saving = total ÷ weeks left

How to use this calculator

  1. Type your input in the box.
  2. The result updates as you type.
  3. Use “Copy result” or “Copy link” to share it.

Your holiday budget is the number of people × the average spent per gift, plus guests × cost per guest at your holiday meals, plus extras such as decorations or travel. Dividing it by the whole weeks left until the date you will spend it gives your weekly saving.

Starting early makes a big difference: $550 is $91.67 a week over 6 weeks, but $275 a week if you wait until 2 weeks before.
