How much wedding ang bao should you give?
Check current wedding ang bao benchmarks by venue, compare lunch and dinner rates, and use the calculator when you want a practical starting amount for your invitation.
Start with the wedding you are actually attending.
Select the venue, session, your relationship with the couple and the number of adult or full-meal guests attending with you.
Your result is a guide based on the selected venue and session, with a modest adjustment for your relationship with the couple. It cannot know the couple's exact package or your personal budget. How the calculation works.

Where an official wedding package is available, it should be the first source. Secondary wedding references are used when direct venue information is unavailable, and every venue record carries a review date.

Normalise the pricing
Table prices, per-person prices and “++” quotes are converted into a comparable per-guest benchmark where the underlying information allows it.
Keep uncertainty visible
We retain ranges when packages differ and show when each record was last reviewed rather than presenting every figure as permanently exact.
