Spend Less, Enjoy More
✅ Book your big fixed costs first (transport + stay), then build the daily budget around them.
✅ Add contingency early so you don’t pretend you’re a robot who never misses a train.
✅ If your daily number feels spicy, drop 1–2 paid activities and upgrade food instead.
💡 Most trips go over budget from lots of small stuff, not one giant disaster.
FAQs
Is this budget calculator official?
No, it’s a planning tool to help you estimate costs. Always confirm prices with airlines, hotels, and providers.
Why do my results change when I edit one thing?
Because totals, daily averages, and per-person cost update instantly as you adjust inputs.
Does this include exchange rates?
Not live exchange rates. It lets you choose a currency, but you should check your bank or a converter for today’s rate.
What if I’m travelling with kids or a group?
Use totals for shared costs (accommodation, car hire) and totals for group spending (food, attractions). The per-person figure will still help.
What should I set the contingency fund to?
10–15% is a solid default for most trips. Higher if you’re visiting peak season or remote areas.
