Work out how many tables you need for your guest count and seats per table.
Tables needed
How to use this tool
Count every seated person, including children.
Use your actual table size, not a catalogue maximum.
A percentage for late additions.
Always rounded up, with spare seats shown.
Formula & worked example
120 guests at 8 per table need 15 tables, seating exactly 120 with no spares.
Limitations — read this before you rely on it
Seating count only; room layout, aisle widths, dance floor and head table placement need a floor plan.
