“I don’t know my furniture budget.”

We’ve all heard this early in a project and it can be hard to give a good answer without putting in hours of work. The Furnishing Budget Calculator is here to help.

This editable Google Sheet gives you a professional, easy way to walk clients through realistic furnishing budgets—before you get too deep into the project. It’s client-friendly, customizable, and includes built-in estimates for shipping, receiving, and sales tax.

Inside the calculator:
• Editable Google Sheet
• 5 sample room budgets
• 4 price tiers per item
• Freight, delivery, and tax estimators
• Can be client-facing
• Option to brand it as your own

We designed it for our own businesses and made it easy to use, confidence-boosting, and worth every penny.

Grab the calculator now at shop.hotyoungdesignersclub.com
