Travel Itinerary Budget Planner

Build a trip budget from its parts

A trip’s total cost is really the sum of its flights, accommodation, food, local transport and activities, and estimating it properly upfront is what avoids nasty financial surprises partway through or after you get home. This planner estimates a full trip budget from your number of days, flights, hotel, food, local transport, activities and any other costs, so you know exactly what to save before you go.

Why itemising beats guessing

A single guessed trip budget is almost always wrong, because the daily costs, food, local transport, small activities, add up far faster than people expect over the length of a trip. Itemising by category and multiplying the daily ones by the number of days gives a realistic total and clearly shows where the money actually goes, which a lump-sum guess never does. It also lets you flex the plan intelligently: cut a couple of activities, choose a cheaper hotel, add a day, and watch the total move so you can trade off against your real budget.

Plan before you pay

The calculation runs entirely in your browser, so your figures are never uploaded and stay on your own machine, which matters for anything involving money and personal finances.
