Halloween Budget Tracker | Costumes, Candy, Decor, Parties (HTML Download)

🎃 STOP JUGGLING FOUR DIFFERENT HALLOWEEN BUDGETS

Costumes, candy, decorations, and parties usually live in four different places — a receipt here, a mental note there, a spreadsheet you never open twice. With Halloween spending projected at $13.1 billion in 2026 and households commonly spending $210–$505 all in, the categories add up fast if nobody's watching the total.

The Halloween Budget Tracker puts every category in one offline HTML tool that auto-totals in real time. No spreadsheet app, no account, no printing required — just open the file and start tracking.

✨ WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Etsy has plenty of $1–$29 PDF and spreadsheet Halloween trackers, but none of them consolidate costumes, candy, decor, and party costs into one interactive tool. This is a single HTML file that does the math for you the moment you type a number in — a live donut chart shows exactly where your Halloween dollars are going, split across all four categories at a glance.

📦 WHAT'S INCLUDED

Dashboard — live spend gauge vs. your total budget, plus the real-time category donut chart
Costumes — track every family member's outfit with cost, source, and status, with automatic per-person subtotals
Candy & Treats — log candy types and quantities, then see your cost-per-trick-or-treater based on expected headcount
Decorations — itemize indoor/outdoor décor with a Bought vs. DIY toggle that tracks how much you saved DIY-ing
Events & Extras — capture party costs, tickets, and miscellaneous spend
Customize tab — set your household budget by category, currency symbol, and color theme
Dedicated print-preview mode for a clean one-page summary, no external app needed
A little celebration when you land under budget (confetti fires for your total AND each category)
Both a blank template and a pre-filled sample-data version, so you can see it in action before entering your own numbers

👪 WHO IT'S FOR

Parents budgeting the whole season, Halloween party hosts, trunk-or-treat organizers, and anyone who wants their costume/candy/decor/event spending in one place instead of four.
