What this means
A travel budget is the sum of one-off costs (flights) plus daily costs (accommodation, food, activities, transport) multiplied by the length of the trip. The per-day figure — excluding flights — is the number to compare against trip reports and to scale up or down as you add nights.
Recommendations
- Add a 10–15% contingency — flight changes, extra meals and unplanned activities almost always appear.
- Use the per-day figure to compare destinations: two trips with the same total can have very different on-the-ground costs.
- Book flights separately from the daily budget so currency and price shocks don't blur the comparison.
Watch out
- This is an estimate — actual costs swing with season, destination, and your travel style.
- Visas, travel insurance and departure taxes aren't included.
