Wedding Budget Tracker with AI Chat Assistant
Track every expense, monitor payment deadlines, and get personalized savings advice from AI.
The Budget module gives you a live view of where your wedding money is going. Add budget items by category, log actual payments, track deposits, and chat with an AI that knows your specific numbers to get advice tailored to your situation.
What it can do
Estimated vs actual tracking
Enter your budgeted amount for each item and log what you actually spend. See the gap in real time.
Payment milestone tracking
Record deposits paid and final amounts due. Never miss a vendor payment deadline.
Budget health score
A live indicator shows whether you are on track, slightly over, or significantly over budget - across all categories.
AI budget assistant
Chat with an AI that has access to your actual budget data. Ask 'Where can I save?' or 'Am I on track?' and get specific answers.
Category breakdown
Costs are grouped by category (venue, catering, photography, etc.) so you see exactly which areas are over or under.
Currency support
Set your wedding currency (HUF, EUR, USD) in settings. All amounts and the AI chat use your selected currency.
How to use it
- 1
Set your total budget
In Settings, set your total wedding budget. This becomes the baseline that the health score measures against.
- 2
Add budget items
Click 'Add item', choose a category (venue, catering, etc.), and enter your estimated cost. Add as many line items as you need.
- 3
Log actual payments
As you pay vendors, open each budget item and log the actual amount paid and any deposit. The estimated vs actual gap updates instantly.
- 4
Set payment deadlines
Add a payment due date to each item. Items with approaching or past deadlines are highlighted in the payment schedule.
- 5
Chat with the AI assistant
Open the AI chat panel and ask questions about your budget. 'Which category is most over budget?' or 'How much do I have left for flowers?'
Pro tips
Add a 5-10% 'contingency' line item from the start. Unexpected costs are almost universal in wedding planning.
Log deposits immediately when you pay them. It is easy to lose track of partial payments across multiple vendors.
Use the AI chat after adding or changing items - it recalculates on the fly and can spot patterns you might miss.
Link budget items to vendor records (in the Vendor module) to keep contract details and payment info in one place.
Frequently asked questions
Can I share the budget with my partner?
You can share a read-only link with Budget permission enabled. The viewer sees all categories and totals but cannot edit.
What currencies are supported?
HUF, EUR, and USD. Set your preferred currency in Settings. The AI chat also uses this currency for all advice.
How does the AI budget assistant work?
The AI receives your current budget data (categories, estimated amounts, actual payments) and uses it to answer your specific questions. It does not have access to the internet or market prices.
Can I track vendor deposits separately from final payments?
Yes. Each budget item has separate fields for deposit amount and whether it has been paid.
Is there a limit to the number of budget items?
No. Add as many line items as you need - some couples track 50+ individual expenses.
