Question 1

How accurate are these budget estimates?

Accepted Answer

These estimates are based on the information you provide and simple calculations. They do not account for real-time prices, currency fluctuations, seasonal variations, or actual booking costs. Actual travel expenses may vary significantly. Use these estimates as a planning tool, not as a guarantee of actual costs.

Question 2

Does this include currency conversion?

Accepted Answer

No. This calculator uses a single currency that you select. All costs should be entered in that currency. If you're traveling to countries with different currencies, you'll need to convert those costs to your selected currency before entering them. The calculator does not perform currency conversion or account for exchange rates.

Question 3

Can I use this to compare different itineraries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use this tool to compare different itineraries by calculating budgets for different trip plans and comparing the results. Simply enter different cities, nights, and costs, calculate, and compare the total trip costs, per-city breakdowns, and category totals. This can help you see which itinerary fits better within your budget.

Question 4

What is the difference between per night and per day averages?

Accepted Answer

Per night average divides your total trip cost by the number of nights you're staying. Per day average divides by the total trip days (which may include travel days). If you enter both nights and trip days, you'll see both metrics. Trip days are useful when you have travel days that don't count as nights but still have costs.

Question 5

Should I include all costs in the city budgets?

Accepted Answer

City budgets should include costs that are specific to each city: lodging per night, daily food, daily local transport, activities in that city, and miscellaneous city-specific costs. Transport between cities should be entered separately in the transport section. Trip-wide costs (like visas, insurance) should go in the 'Other Trip-Wide Costs' field.

Question 6

Does this tool book flights or hotels?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a planning and budgeting tool only. It does not access live prices, make bookings, or provide travel services. You need to research and enter costs yourself based on your own research or actual quotes from travel providers.
