Planning, budget
How to set a stag do budget per person the group can live with
The per-head number is where a stag do falls out. One person wants two big nights and a villa, another is counting every pound, and nobody says so until the bill lands.
Setting the budget openly, before anyone books, is what keeps the group together. Here is how.
Get a real number first
Guessing the cost causes half the arguments. Work a realistic per-head figure on the free budget calculator, based on the villa, the nights out and any boat, so the group is talking about a real number.
Let people say what they can do
Put the number to the group and let people say plainly what they are comfortable with. It is easier to adjust the plan than to chase someone who quietly cannot afford it.
Keep the extras optional
Not everyone wants the table, the extra night or the fancy dinner. Keep the big shared costs even and let the extras be opt-in, so nobody subsidises a night they did not want.
One number, agreed and tracked
Sync Us shows the cost split across the group and who has paid, so the budget is out in the open from the start. It shows the money and never moves it. Everyone pays direct.
