Understanding your estimate
Break down travel, accommodation, meals and activities to avoid surprises. Per-person costs help you compare different trips.
This tool helps with planning; it is not a quote, invoice or professional advice. Adjust the defaults to your own situation instead of treating them as national averages.
Comparing different scenarios
Try changing one input at a time to see which cost has the greatest effect. To compare two scenarios, write down the first result before moving the sliders again.

Don’t forget the hidden costs
A travel budget is more than flights and accommodation. Airport transfers, baggage, travel insurance, city taxes, bank fees and local transport can add up. Check whether accommodation and activities are charged per person or per booking.
Example: seven nights at $90 per night cost $630 before cleaning fees and local taxes. Add food per traveller per day.
How do I avoid unexpected travel expenses?
Keep a contingency allowance and check cancellation terms, luggage fees and transport costs before booking.
