Travel Budget Calculator
Build a realistic trip estimate from the costs you know. The calculator separates fixed costs from daily spending and adds an optional buffer for surprises.

Your trip estimate
Plan without false precision
Three ways to make the estimate more useful
Use prices from your actual route and dates. A budget calculator organizes assumptions; it cannot predict exchange rates, dynamic fares or unexpected fees.
Hotel taxes, baggage, resort fees, transfers and card conversion charges can materially change the total. Check your carry-on against the airline's current limits.
A contingency amount helps with price changes and small surprises, but emergency funds should remain separate.
Common questions
Travel budget questions
Does the calculator convert currencies?
No. Select the currency you are already using for every input. Mixing currencies will make the result inaccurate.
Should flight costs be entered per person?
Enter the combined flight or long-distance travel cost for everyone. Food is the only input automatically multiplied by the number of travelers.
Why are hotel nights separate from trip days?
A seven-day trip may include six hotel nights. Keeping them separate avoids adding an extra night by mistake.
Worked example
Example: a seven-day trip for two
Suppose two travelers expect $1,200 in combined flights, six hotel nights at $140, food at $55 per person per day, $250 for local transport and activities, $120 for insurance and connectivity, and a 10% contingency. Enter each amount in the currency you plan to use. The calculator first builds the base trip total, then applies the contingency once. It also shows cost per traveler and cost per day so you can compare trips of different lengths.
What the estimate includes—and what it does not
The result includes only the assumptions entered. It does not fetch live fares, exchange rates, taxes or destination fees. Confirm whether accommodation prices include local tax, whether baggage is included in transport, and whether card conversion fees apply. Keep emergency funds separate from the ordinary contingency because unused emergency money should not be treated as planned spending.
