About this event budget planner spreadsheet template

This Event Budget Planner gives event organizers a structured four-sheet workbook to plan, calculate, and monitor event finances from start to finish. The Inputs sheet captures every cost item — venue, catering, AV production, speaker travel, branding, and more — with fixed costs, per-guest rates, quantities, and category tags, all built around a sample Northwind Customer Summit event.

The Calculation sheet automatically computes base costs, contingency reserves, and total costs for each line item, while the Scenarios sheet lets you model different ticket prices and guest counts to see surplus or deficit outcomes. The Dashboard sheet brings everything together with a visual cost breakdown, revenue summary, and bottom-line surplus or deficit figure for quick decision-making.

Every cell, label, and formula is fully editable in WPS Office, Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and Apple Numbers. Replace the sample event data with your own budget items, adjust the contingency rate, and the workbook recalculates automatically — no rebuilding required.
