The 60-second answer
Pick your city tier, occasion, and vibe — and the calculator gives you the realistic cost range for two people. Then PlanADate builds you an actual plan at that budget, free.
How the numbers are calculated
The calculator uses real cost ranges by city tier × occasion × vibe, calibrated against PlanADate's recent generated plans. The midpoint is what most users actually spend; the high end is what feels indulgent without crossing into "showing off."
What the budget covers
- 2–3 venue stops (drinks, food, activity)
- Per-person estimate, not totals
- Includes parking and transit when relevant
- Excludes tipping (assume 20%) and flexible add-ons

How accurate is this calculator?
It's calibrated against thousands of real PlanADate generated plans. The midpoint is what most people actually spend in that city tier × occasion × vibe combination.
Does this include tip?
No — assume 20% on top for service. Tax is built into the venue prices the AI returns when you generate an actual plan.
What if I want to spend less?
Drop the vibe to 'low-key' or check our cheap date ideas guide. PlanADate works great below the calculator's range too.
Will PlanADate stay within the budget I set?
Yes — your budget is a hard input. The AI picks venues that fit it and shows the per-person cost upfront before you commit.
