Planning a Vacation Bible School can feel like juggling numbers, spreadsheets, and sticky notes — all while trying to stay within budget. But what if you could ditch the guesswork and create a professional, accurate budget in minutes?
That’s exactly what the VBS Cost Calculator WordPress plugin delivers. Designed specifically for churches, this tool gives VBS directors, children’s ministry leaders, and church administrators a clear, data-driven view of their event finances — instantly.
Why Churches Struggle with VBS Budgets
Even the most experienced planners hit roadblocks:
- Underestimating per-child expenses like snacks, crafts, and t-shirts
- Forgetting volunteer hospitality or leader appreciation costs
- Missing hidden fees like payment processing or facility usage
- Lacking a professional report to present to boards or sponsors
These oversights lead to budget overruns or underfunded programs — both of which can impact the success of your outreach.
