Trip cost calculator

Add your own lodging, transport, food, activity and other estimates to compare the whole trip, each traveler and each traveler-day. Nothing is uploaded, saved or converted between currencies.

Enter every amount below in this currency; no exchange rate is applied.
Count everyone sharing the group costs.
Include arrival and departure days when they have costs.
Use zero if accommodation is already covered or not needed.
Use the group price after known taxes and fees.
Enter the group total for the return journey and intercity legs.
Include transit, taxis, parking, fuel and tolls you expect to use.
Use one daily amount; the calculator applies it to every traveler.
Include tickets, tours, rentals and required reservation fees.
Add insurance, visas, connectivity, luggage or other known costs.
Keep the buffer separate so it is not mistaken for a quoted price.

What this estimate does not know

It does not read live prices, exchange rates, taxes, fees, availability or cancellation terms. It is not a quote, booking tool or guarantee that the entered buffer will cover a disruption.

Confirm actual prices with each provider and use one currency for every entry. If a cost applies per person, multiply it before entering a group total unless the field specifically says per traveler.

Review the estimate

Make every assumption easy to replace.

The calculator uses only the amounts you enter. Recheck the total with the actual party size, travel dates, fees and exchange-rate conversions you expect before relying on it.

Separate group and per-person costs

Enter shared totals once, then use the per-traveler and per-day results to compare trips with different party sizes or lengths.

Use the price you can actually book

Include known taxes, luggage, seat, resort, reservation and transport fees instead of relying on a headline price.

Keep the buffer visible

A separate contingency line makes the cushion clear without presenting it as a quote or hiding it inside another category.
