Example Calculation
Suppose your total budget is $500, with 5 people on your gift list. Decorations cost $50, and food is $100.
- Total Expenses = $50 + $100 = $150
- Available for gifts = $500 – $150 = $350
- Budget Per Person = $350 ÷ 5 = $70 per person
- Remaining Budget = $500 – $150 = $350
- Days Until Christmas = Depends on current date
