Wedding Budget Calculator
From the kamati and harambee pledges to the ruracio and the reception, see what your wedding will really cost, what you have to cover it, and what to save each month.
Plan your wedding budget
Use quotes where you have them and your best guess where you do not. Leave a box empty if it does not apply. All amounts are in Kenya shillings.
Your guests and your timeline
Ask your caterer for a price per plate.
Sodas, water, juice, tea.
Venue and ceremony
Bridal car, guest buses, fuel.
Outfits, looks and memories
Traditional, travel and extras
Include your share of the costs, such as the ruracio, lobola or other customs of your communities.
Prices go up and guests add themselves. 10 percent is a sensible starting point.
The money you have for it
The total people have promised, not what has been paid.
Many pledges arrive late or smaller. 70 is a careful guess.

This calculator gives an estimate to help you plan. It is not financial advice. Real prices vary by town, season and vendor, so get written quotes before you commit. Customs and costs differ between families and communities, so use the numbers that fit yours.
