List your dowry items as item | amount and pick a regional tier to see a reference item total, a regional reference range and each item's share. Dowry varies enormously by region and family custom, so every figure here is a rough reference estimate only — it is not an official, legal or mandatory standard, and not a quote.

How to Use the Wedding Dowry Budget Estimator
Type or paste one dowry item per line and the estimate updates as you type. Pick the regional tier that best matches your area, then treat the range as a starting point for an open family conversation rather than a fixed figure.
What to enter
Regional tier widens or narrows the reference range to reflect broad regional differences.
Item is the name of each dowry element, such as a betrothal gift, jewellery or the ceremony banquet; a line with no item and no amount is skipped.
Amount is the number you have in mind for that item; a value below zero is ignored and treated as zero.
Read the estimate
The items total is the sum of everything you listed, and the reference range shows a lower and higher figure around it. The table repeats each item with its amount and its share of the total, so you can see where the weight sits.
Keep it in proportion
Dowry is a matter of local and family custom, and the range here cannot account for that. Use it to compare options and prepare a discussion, then let the people involved decide together.
