Europe Trip Budget Calculator

Most trips do not go wrong because of one big expense. They go wrong because the small daily ones were never counted. Put your own numbers in below and you will see the real total, what it costs per person, and what you are spending each day.

Nothing is sent anywhere. Everything stays in your browser, and your figures are still here when you come back.

The trip

Enter every figure in one currency. Our guide suggests working in euros first, since that is what you will actually be spending. This tool does not convert between currencies — a built-in exchange rate would be out of date by the time you used it.

Fixed costs

Paid once for the whole trip, not per night.

Daily costs

Per person, per night. Not sure? Start from a travel style.

Ranges are for Western Europe, from our Europe budget guide. Eastern and Southern Europe run lower. A preset fills the four fields below — change any of them.

Buffer

Laundry, a missed train, a pharmacy visit, one taxi you did not plan. This is the line that turns a small problem into a non-problem.

Our guide suggests 10% for a tight single-country trip, and 15 to 20% once you are crossing borders.
