The proper stag pace — pints, shots, and staying out.
Suggested upfront kitty
£100per person
Total estimated spend for 10 lads in Prague: £1,335 (that's £134 each across drinks, food, an activity and taxis).
Based on a ~50 Kč pint. Excludes flights & accommodation — book those separately. A guide, not a quote.
A worked example
Say you've got 12 lads heading to Prague for 2 nights at a heavy pace. The maths: eight pints and three shots a head, each night, at roughly £1.80 a pint; two group dinners; one big activity; club entry; and taxis there and back. The tool lands on a total weekend spend around £1,400–£1,500 and a suggested kitty of about £120 per person. Do the same sum for London and you're closer to £250 a head — which is exactly why picking the city first matters.

Frequently asked
How much should a stag do kitty be per person?＋
For a two-night trip at a heavy pace, most groups pool between £100 and £200 per head for drinks, food, one activity and taxis — more in expensive cities like London, Dublin or Amsterdam, less in Prague, Krakow or Newcastle. Use the calculator above for your exact numbers.
What should the kitty cover?＋
Keep the kitty for shared spend: rounds, shots, group meals, club entry and taxis. Book flights and accommodation separately and split those up front — pooling them just causes confusion.
How do you collect the kitty?＋
Collect it before you go, in one lump, via a group payment app or bank transfer. Chasing cash on the night is how best men lose their minds. Round the per-person figure up to a clean number and keep the change as a buffer.
Is this accurate for going abroad?＋
The figures are indicative GBP-equivalents based on what stag groups actually spend on the ground, not tourist rack rates. Add a little for a weak pound or a boat party, and always keep a contingency.
Do I have to enter my email?＋
No. The result appears instantly. There's an optional 'email me this budget' button if you want a copy — that's the only time we'd ask, and it's entirely up to you.
