Questions and answers
Is my budget uploaded anywhere?
No. It is worked out in your browser and saved only on this device. Clearing the site data removes it.
How is "expected cost" worked out?
For each line it is the actual cost if you have typed one, otherwise the estimate. Balance due is expected cost minus advance paid.
Can I use it for a birthday, conference or office party?
Yes. Pick the categories that fit or use Other with your own item names.
