Show the math
The budget adds each part, scaling per-person and per-night costs by your group size and trip length:
total = flights + lodging × nights + food × days × people + transport × days + extras
The first trip is often pricier than later ones because flights and activities are one-offs, while food and transport repeat each day.
Figures are your own estimates in a single currency. Everything is calculated in your browser.
What this does
A trip cost calculator builds a full holiday budget from flights, lodging, food, local transport, and activities, with per-person and per-day breakdowns.
How to use it
- Enter flights and lodging.
- Add food, transport, and activities.
- Set travelers and nights.
- Read the per-person and per-day totals.
How it works
Flights and food scale by travelers, lodging by nights, and daily costs by days; a buffer covers surprises. Keep every figure in one currency.
total = flights + lodging + food + transport + activities + buffer
Understanding your result
The per-day and per-person breakdowns are the useful part, because they show where the money actually goes and make two destinations comparable on a fair basis. Flights and lodging are usually the biggest levers, so adjust those first, keep every figure in one currency, and hold a buffer back, since the surprises on a trip almost always cost money rather than save it.
Example
For 2 people over 5 days and 4 nights, $600 flights each, $175 a night lodging, $40 food per person per day and $200 of activities total $2,500, about $1,250 each.

Frequently asked questions
How is the trip cost worked out?
Flights and food scale by the number of travelers, lodging by the number of nights, and food and local transport by the number of days; activities and a buffer are added on top.
Why split it per person and per day?
Per-person helps everyone know their share, and per-day shows your daily spend so you can compare destinations or trim the budget.
What currency does it use?
It is currency-neutral, enter every figure in the same currency and the totals come out in that currency.
