FAQ
How much should I budget for Christmas gifts?+
Start from what you can pay without debt, then divide it among the people on your list. Many families set a per-person amount (for example $25–$50) and a smaller amount for coworkers and stocking stuffers.
How much should I save per day for Christmas?+
Divide your total gift budget by the days left until Christmas. The calculator does this automatically and updates as the date gets closer.
