Gift budget planner

Add each person you are buying for with the amount you plan to spend. As you shop, enter what you have spent. The planner shows what is left for each person and overall, and flags anyone who is over budget. Your list stays on this device and prints as a table.

No one yet. Add a person and a budget above to start your list.

The list is saved in this browser only and is never uploaded. Use any currency; amounts are not converted.

Runs in your browser: nothing you enter is sent anywhere.

How to use it

  1. Type a name and a budget and press Add person.
  2. As you buy gifts, change the Spent amount in that person’s row.
  3. Watch Left for each person and the total at the bottom.

How it works

Left = budget − spent. The bottom row sums the budget and spent columns, and the left is their difference. A negative number is shown in red with the word over.

Worked example

Mum 50 with 42.50 spent leaves 7.50. Sam 30 with 35 spent is 5.00 over. Together 80 budgeted and 77.50 spent leaves 2.50.

Good to know

Add a small row for wrapping, cards or postage if those costs matter to you. Amounts are plain numbers in whatever currency you use.

Frequently asked questions

Where is my list stored?

In your browser's local storage on this device. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account. Clearing site data, private mode or another browser or device starts a new list.

How are the left and total figures calculated?

Left = budget − spent for each person, and a negative number means you are over. The totals add every budget and every spent amount, rounded to cents, and the overall left is total budget − total spent.

How many people can I add?

Up to 60, with names up to 40 characters. Removing a person deletes their row and takes them out of the totals.

Can I print it?

Yes. Press Print and only the table is printed; the forms and buttons are hidden.
