How it works
Allocate six work areas
Each percentage is multiplied by the total budget to make its actual amount visible.
Balance to 100%
The allocation score falls as the entered total moves away from a complete fixed-budget plan.

Frequently asked questions
Are the percentages recommended benchmarks?
No. They are your planning choices. The tool checks and converts the allocation but does not claim one universal split fits every MVP.
Why keep contingency separate?
A visible reserve prevents known scope from silently consuming the amount intended for uncertainty, rework, or newly discovered constraints.
Is this a project quote?
No. Replace percentage assumptions with scoped estimates, supplier quotes, and delivery capacity before making a financial commitment.
