Christmas budget planner, all of it, not just gifts.

A Christmas costs more than its presents. This worksheet holds the rest too: food, the tree, cards and postage, wrapping, travel, the office Secret Santa. Plan each line, write in what you spend, and see what to put aside each week.

How to use it

Start from what you can pay off by the end of January, not from last year’s spending. Plan every line, even the small ones: cards, postage, wrapping and the office Secret Santa are the costs that surprise people in January.

For the Gifts line, the Christmas budget calculator splits your gift money across everyone on your list. Then the savings line shows what to set aside each week between now and Christmas.

Questions people ask

How do I make a Christmas budget?

Decide one total you can pay off by January, then split it into lines (gifts, food, decorations, travel and the rest), plan an amount for each, and write down what you spend as you go. This planner has the lines and adds them up for you.

How much should I save each week for Christmas?

Divide what’s still to pay by the weeks left. The savings line at the bottom of the planner does it from today’s date when you fill it in on screen.

What do people forget in a Christmas budget?

Postage, wrapping, batteries, travel, the office Secret Santa and the January bills that follow. That’s why the planner has a line for each, and three blank ones.

Does it add up on screen?

Yes. Planned and Spent are summed as you type, and “Left” shows the difference, in your own currency. What you type stays in this browser.

How much of the budget should go on gifts?

It’s yours to decide, but for most families gifts are the biggest single line. The Christmas budget calculator helps you split the gift part fairly across people.
