International Trip Budget Calculator
Estimate the cost of any international trip from flights, lodging, food and activities, with a 10% buffer included.
How this calculator works
Enter the days, the flight cost and your daily lodging, food and activities. The calculator multiplies the daily costs by the days, adds flights and shows the total plus a 10% buffer. Use it for any destination by plugging in the daily prices you find for that place.
Example
10 days with $1,200 for flights and $120 lodging, $60 food and $45 activities per day. The calculator shows: Trip Budget: $3,450.00 · With 10% buffer: $3,795.00.
Tips
- Check that your passport is valid for the length the destination requires. Many countries ask for several months beyond your travel dates.
- Compare credit cards and ATMs for foreign transaction fees before you leave.
- Consider travel insurance that covers medical care abroad, since your regular health plan may not.
Common questions
How do I get daily cost numbers?
Check recent traveler reports, guidebooks and booking sites for the destination, and use a mid-range figure for your style of travel.
Is the buffer enough?
10% covers small surprises. If you are traveling to a place with volatile prices or a long itinerary, add more.
