Cash Wedding Gift Calculator
How to Use the Calculator
To use the calculator, fill in your monthly income in the first input field, then select your relationship to the wedding couple from the dropdown menu. Once you have filled in both fields, click the “Calculate” button to obtain the suggested cash gift amount.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator suggests a cash gift amount based on a percentage of your monthly income. The percentages are as follows:
- If you are family, it suggests 15% of your monthly income.
- If you are a friend, it suggests 10% of your monthly income.
- If you are a colleague, it suggests 5% of your monthly income.
The result is a guideline to help you decide how much to gift; you may choose to give more or less depending on your budget and relationship with the couple.
Limitations of the Calculator
Please note that this calculator is meant to provide a suggested gift amount based on traditional gift-giving etiquette. It does not take into account regional differences, the cost of the wedding, or your personal or financial circumstances. The final gift amount you decide on should reflect what you are comfortable with giving.
