How to use the Travel Budget Calculator
Our calculator gives you a realistic cost estimate for your trip based on your destination, travel style, and spending habits. It covers all the core expenses you'll face covering accommodation, food, local transport, activities, and flights, so you can plan ahead with confidence.
- Choose your destination from our list of 20+ popular travel hotspots
- Set your trip duration using the slider
- Pick your travel style: Budget, Mid-range, or Luxury
- Adjust your daily food, transport, and activity spend
- Add your estimated flight cost per person
What's included in the estimate?
The calculator covers flights (based on your input), accommodation (estimated from your travel style and destination), food and drink, local transport, and activities. It does not include travel insurance, visa fees, or shopping. Add a 10–15% buffer for those.
How accurate is it?
Estimates are based on real-world average costs and are updated periodically. Actual costs vary by season, how far in advance you book, and personal choices. The calculator is a planning tool, not a quote. Always verify accommodation and flight prices before committing to a budget.
Don't forget your data costs
One expense most budget calculators miss is mobile data abroad. UK operators can charge up to £6/day for roaming. A local eSIM for your destination typically costs £3 to £15 for your entire trip. Use our eSIM comparison tool to find the cheapest plan before you travel.
