Frequently asked questions
- Does this include currency conversion?
- No, enter every cost in one currency. Use the Currency Converter tool first if you're budgeting in a foreign currency.
- What should I put in the buffer?
- A 10-15% buffer is a common cushion for unexpected costs like souvenirs, tips or last-minute changes.
- Is food per day per person or for the whole group?
- Enter it per person per day — the calculator multiplies it by travellers and nights automatically.
