How much should I budget for this?

Most budgets fail because of the line items nobody wrote down. Describe the project, trip, or recurring expense and CRACTT gives you a realistic range, a breakdown, and the contingency that keeps it from blowing up.

What CRACTT weighs

  • Line-item breakdown

    A range with the components visible, so you can adjust rather than guess.

  • Forgotten costs

    Taxes, fees, delivery, permits, tips, and the small recurring items that add up.

  • Contingency

    How much padding the category actually needs, based on how often it overruns.

  • Safe cuts

    Where trimming saves money without wrecking the result.
