How This Calculator Works

You enter the number of travelers, trip length, daily per-person costs (food, transport, activities), a nightly hotel rate, and one-time costs (flights, extras). Daily costs scale with both travelers and days; hotel scales with days only, since it is priced per room. The tool sums everything and divides by the party size for per-person figures.

Quick Questions

Is the hotel cost per room or per person?

Per room. The calculator divides the nightly rate by the number of travelers when computing per-person daily costs, so sharing a room naturally lowers each person's share.

Should I include tips and taxes in the daily costs?

Yes — enter the fully loaded cost you expect to pay, including local taxes and gratuities. This gives you a more realistic total. You can also add a buffer via the "Other" field.

How accurate is this for international trips?

Costs are entered in a single currency, so convert foreign prices before entering them. Exchange rates fluctuate, so building in a 10–15% buffer is a good practice.

What goes in "Other One-Time Costs"?

Travel insurance, visa fees, airport transfers, checked baggage fees, excursion bookings, or any lump-sum expense that doesn't repeat daily.
