U.S. survey average · weddings held in 2025
$35,000.00 → $34,200.00 per wedding
−$800.00 (−2.3%) USD
The 2026 study reports on couples married in 2025. This survey average is not a minimum budget or a quote.
Public in-state tuition + fees · four-year estimate
$55,530.00 → $47,800.00 per 4 years
−$7,730.00 (−13.9%) USD
Benchmark definition updated. $11,950 annual tuition and fees × 4. Excludes housing, meals, other living costs, grant aid, and future tuition increases during enrollment. This revises the benchmark definition rather than measuring a tuition price decline. The scenario growth assumption remains a separate editable projection.
National average · monthly equivalent
$1,400.00 → $1,098.67 per month
−$301.33 (−21.5%) USD
Benchmark definition updated. $13,184 annual national average divided by 12. Combines care types and arrangements; it is not specifically an infant daycare quote. Replacing the previous full-time care estimate with this broader benchmark does not establish a market price decline.
Assisted living community · national median
$5,419.00 → $6,200.00 per month
+$781.00 (+14.4%) USD
Benchmark definition updated. Corrects the previous average label to median. Local costs and individual care needs vary; this is a benchmark correction, not a comparable market-price series.
One-bedroom apartment · national median asking rent
$1,589.00 → $1,515.00 per month
−$74.00 (−4.7%) USD
Asking rent is a national reference point, not the rent paid by every existing tenant or a local quote.
Existing single-family home · national median
$412,300.00 → $440,300.00 per home
+$28,000.00 (+6.8%) USD
Benchmark definition updated. The previous preset said only national median price. This benchmark now specifically covers existing single-family homes; the revision does not prove comparable home prices rose by this amount.
Beginning of tracked history. Previous presets had no recorded source dates; earlier price movements are not reconstructed. National benchmarks are reference points, not local quotes. Existing saved scenarios retain their own values.
