Frequently asked questions

How do I budget for a vacation?

Add your expected costs by category (flights, lodging, food, activities, transport) plus a buffer. The planner totals them, shows cost per person, and the monthly savings needed to fund it by your trip date.

How much should I save each month?

Divide the total by the months until your trip. The planner does this for you so you can start setting money aside now.

Should I add a buffer?

Yes — a 10 to 15 percent buffer for the unexpected keeps a trip from going over budget.
