Family Vacation Calculator

Add transportation, lodging, food and activities to budget a family trip.

How this calculator works

Enter the number of travelers, the transport cost per person, the total lodging cost, the daily food cost per person, the number of days and the total for activities. The calculator multiplies transport and food by the number of travelers, adds lodging and activities, and shows the total.

Example

4 travelers with $350 transport each, $2,100 for lodging, $60 food per person per day for 7 days and $900 of activities. The calculator shows: Family Trip: $6,080.00.

Tips

  • Look for lodging with a kitchen so some meals can be made at home, which can cut your food cost.
  • Check age-based discounts. Children often get lower prices for tickets and some lodging.
  • Agree on a spending limit for souvenirs and treats before the trip so the budget holds.

Common questions

Are children charged the same as adults?

Often not. Many airlines, attractions and hotels have child prices or free ages, so adjust your totals where it applies.

How can I lower the total?

Travel in off-peak times, book early, stay somewhere with a kitchen and choose a few paid activities instead of many.
