About the Dashain dakshina calculator
During Dashain, families give dakshina (दक्षिणा) — a small sum of money offered to elders, relatives and juniors as a blessing. There is no fixed rate: how much you give is a personal choice that depends on your budget and your circle. What is easy to lose track of is the total. This planner lets you list everyone you plan to give to, sort them by category, and see at a glance what the whole Dashain will cost.
How to use it
Add a row for each person or household, pick a category and enter the amount. The calculator keeps a running total, shows your average gift and breaks the spend down by category, so you can adjust one figure and immediately see the effect on your budget.
Planning a sensible amount
A common approach is to decide on a total budget first, then work backwards to a comfortable amount per person, giving a little more to grandparents and parents and less to younger children. If you are unsure, use the average as a guide and keep the spread modest — the gesture matters far more than the figure. Everything runs in your browser: nothing you type is uploaded or stored.
