Traveller's toolkit

Travel Budget Calculator

Plug in trip length, party size, and what you expect to spend each day. See the total trip cost, a per-day breakdown, and a per-person split: all client-side, nothing sent anywhere.

Enter your trip details to see a total, a per-day breakdown, and a per-person split.

How this tool works

The math is straightforward multiplication: trip days × travellers × each daily rate, summed across the four categories. The optional buffer inflates the total by a percentage of your choice: useful for trips where a specific category (tours, rental car upgrades) is still unknown.

Daily rates are per traveller: a food rate of $40 means $40 per person per day, so a four-person trip spends $160 on food daily. Rates are in USD; convert from your local currency before entering if needed.

Numbers are whole dollars for display; intermediate math runs in cents to avoid floating-point drift. The category column always sums to the headline total: any rounding residual is absorbed into the largest category so the breakdown stays honest.

How this calculator builds its numbers

The daily figures come from the same cost-per-day corpus that powers every TTDI city page: measured meal, transit, attraction, and accommodation prices per city, refreshed as our data pipeline re-verifies them. Pick a city and a travel style and the calculator multiplies real observed prices, not survey averages.

Budget, mid-range, and comfort tiers map to concrete choices: street food versus sit-down dinners, metro versus ride-hail, hostel versus hotel. The total is an honest planning floor. Flights, visas, and travel insurance sit outside it because they vary by origin, and a single global number for them would be a guess.

Nothing you enter is stored or sent anywhere. The math runs in your browser against price data already on the page.
