About this tool
Trip budgets fail on the invisible third: local transport, tips, coffee stops and surprises — hence the 15% buffer built into this planner. Set your daily style (budget hostel ~$60/day, mid-range ~$150, comfort ~$300+ in most Tier-1 cities), add fixed costs (flights, hotels pre-paid, activities), and get the honest total plus a per-day view for on-trip tracking.
FAQ
How much should the buffer be?
10–20% is standard for Tier-1 travel — higher for adventure trips where plans change.
Does this include visas/insurance?
No — add those as fixed items; travel insurance for a 2-week Tier-1 trip typically runs $50–150.
