Europe Trip Budget Calculator

Estimate the cost of a trip to Europe from flights, lodging, food and activities, with a 10% buffer included.

How this calculator works

Enter the number of days, your total flight cost, and your daily spending on lodging, food and activities. The calculator multiplies the daily costs by the days, adds flights, and shows the total and the total with a 10% buffer for the unexpected. Costs differ a great deal between countries and cities, so use your own research for the daily numbers.

Example

14 days, $1,100 for flights, then $150 lodging, $70 food and $50 activities per day. The calculator shows: Trip Budget: $4,880.00 · With 10% buffer: $5,368.00.

Tips

Spending is often lower in the shoulder seasons of spring and fall, and flights can be cheaper too.
Compare point-to-point train tickets with rail passes for your route, and consider budget airlines for long distances.
Check the entry requirements for your passport before you book, including any travel authorization rules and the allowed length of stay.

Common questions

What does the 10% buffer cover?

Unplanned costs like taxi rides, small purchases, price changes and fees. It is not a substitute for travel insurance.

Does it include rail passes and local transport?

Only if you add them to the daily amounts or to the flight figure. Enter the total cost of transport in one of those fields.
