Travel Budget Calculator

Estimate your total trip cost including flights, accommodation, food, transport, and activities. See a breakdown per person and per day.

This calculator adds seven trip-cost inputs into a full-trip total, then presents it three ways: as a lump-sum Total Trip Cost, split evenly as Cost Per Person, and spread across the trip's length as Cost Per Day. The engine treats "days" as Number of Nights plus one, so a 7-night trip covers 8 days of Food, Local Transport, and Activities -- a traveler still eats and moves around on the departure day even though they don't pay for a room that night. Number of Nights has the single largest effect on Total Trip Cost, edging out Number of Travelers by a real but modest margin: Nights multiplies Accommodation (per night) directly and also sets the day count that scales Food, Local Transport, and Activities, while Travelers only multiplies the per-person categories (Flight Cost, Food, Activities) and never touches Accommodation or Local Transport at all -- those two stay exactly flat no matter how many people are on the trip. Cost Per Day flips the ranking: dividing by day count instead of headcount makes Number of Travelers the dominant input there, since it scales the per-person costs without changing how many days they're spread across. This is a planning estimate, not a live budget -- it doesn't account for currency conversion, trip insurance, visa fees, or the fact that real per-day spending (food, activities) rarely stays perfectly flat across an entire trip.
