How to save

Add a 10–15% buffer

Real trips run over on the small stuff — tips, fees, a taxi you did not plan. Pad your daily estimates slightly so the final bill does not surprise you.

Per-day is where you have the most control

Food and activities are the most flexible line items. If the total is too high, trim the daily food or activity figure and watch the total drop instantly.

Split fixed vs per-person costs

Lodging is usually shared while food and activities scale per traveler. The per-person view helps groups divide costs fairly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I include in a travel budget?
The four biggest buckets are lodging, food, local transport, and activities. Add flights separately as a one-off if they are not part of your per-day estimate.
How is the per-person cost calculated?
The total estimated trip cost is divided by the number of travelers. Daily costs are multiplied by the number of nights before the split.
Does this use real hotel or flight prices?
No. You enter your own estimates, so nothing is fabricated. Choosing a country only changes currency formatting, not the numbers you type.
