About Travel Budget Planner
Add a buffer
Real trips usually run 15-25% over budget — last-minute upgrades, missed connections, "while I’m here" indulgences. Plan for the budget you calculate, then save 20% more before going.
Where most people overspend
Food (eating out 3×/day adds up fast), souvenirs (impulse purchases), upgrades (premium activities, nicer rooms once tired). Pre-decide a souvenir budget and stick to it.
Hidden costs
ATM fees abroad (use no-fee cards). Foreign transaction fees (use cards without them — 1-3% adds up). Tipping conventions. Visa fees. Travel insurance ($20-100 for a week trip — worth it for international).
