Frequently asked questions
Does this budget tracker save my data anywhere, and is it private?
Your line items are saved only in your own browser's local storage, on your device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so only you can see your budget.
Can I export my event budget to use elsewhere, like a spreadsheet?
Yes. Click Export CSV to download a comma-separated file with every category, estimated cost, and actual cost, which opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers.
How is the variance calculated for each budget line?
Variance is the actual cost minus the estimated cost. A negative variance, shown in the success color, means you came in under budget; a positive variance, shown in the error color, means you went over.
