Pet Budget Planner & Annual Expense Calculator | Offline Tool, No Subscription, Insurance Break-Even

The average U.S. household now spends $1,445 a year per pet — do you actually know where yours goes?

Pet Budget Planner is an offline, single-file browser tool that turns guessing into a real number. Slide your monthly budget across food, vet care, grooming, toys, and boarding. Log every actual expense as it happens. And run the one calculation almost no pet budget spreadsheet does: whether pet insurance is actually worth it for your pet, at your deductible, this year.

No login. No monthly fee. No cloud account holding your data. It's a single HTML file that opens in any browser and saves everything right there on your device.
