How to Plan a Realistic Travel Budget

Travel costs vary dramatically by region and style. A budget traveler in Southeast Asia can get by on $48 per day, while a luxury trip to Japan might cost $710 daily. This planner uses real-world data to estimate your daily costs based on where you're going and how you like to travel.

Budget Categories Explained

Accommodation typically represents the largest daily expense, followed by food and activities. The planner breaks your budget into five categories: accommodation, food and drinks, local transport, activities and tours, and miscellaneous spending including shopping and tips.

Comparing Travel Styles

Budget travel means hostels, street food, and public transit. Mid-range includes comfortable hotels, sit-down restaurants, and occasional taxis. Luxury covers upscale hotels, fine dining, private transfers, and premium experiences. The planner lets you compare all three styles for any region.
