Budgets¶
Budgets help you track how much you plan to spend and how much you actually spend across categories (venue, catering, decor, etc.).
Start simple
Create 4–6 categories first (Venue, Catering, Decor, Photography, Outfit, Misc). Add detailed line items later.
Open Budgets¶
- Create at least one event plan (activity).
- Open the Dashboard for your occasion type.
- Select Manage Budgets on the plan you want to budget.
If you have no saved plans, Uthsav may redirect you to Manage Themes so you can create one first.
How Budgets Are Organized¶
- Planned Budget: your total budget target
- Categories: sections like “Venue”, “Catering”, “Decor”, etc.
- Line Items: individual costs inside a category
Uthsav automatically totals:
- Category totals (sum of items in the category)
- Total spend (sum of all categories)
Add a Category¶
- Select Add Category.
- Name the category.
- Choose an icon (optional).
- Save.
Add Line Items¶
- Expand a category.
- Add an item row.
- Enter the item name and amount.
- Save your budget changes.
Currency¶
Budgets display using the currency selected in your account settings.
- To change it, open Profile & Settings and update your currency.
