How to use this tool
Enter the expected costs for the main food, sides, drinks, fuel and other supplies. The calculator reports the total and the average cost per guest in Canadian dollars.
Remember items that are easy to overlook: ice, charcoal or propane, foil, takeaway containers, condiments and replacement cleaning supplies. The per-person figure is a planning benchmark, not a recommendation to spend that amount.
Planning aid only: Results are estimates. Follow equipment instructions, local fire restrictions and official food-safety guidance.
