Question 1

How much does a typical trip cost per day?

Accepted Answer

It depends heavily on the destination. Among the cities in this planner, a mid-range traveler spends roughly €143 per day in Tokyo up to €243 per day in London, covering accommodation, food, local transport and activities combined.

Question 2

What's usually the biggest expense on a trip?

Accepted Answer

Accommodation is typically the single largest line item, followed by food. Local transport and activities tend to be smaller but add up quickly for longer trips.

Question 3

Should flights be included in this budget?

Accepted Answer

This calculator focuses on on-the-ground daily costs. Add your flight or long-distance transport separately in the "Flight / Transport to destination" field above so it doesn't get mixed into the daily average.

Question 4

How accurate are these estimates?

Accepted Answer

They're based on typical mid-range travel costs and meant as a starting point, not a guarantee — actual prices vary by season, how far in advance you book, and personal spending habits. Adjust any category once you have real quotes.
