Pick your days and destination and get a quick estimate: round-trip flights, daily spending on the ground, and a sensible buffer — then split the total across everyone traveling. A ballpark before you book beats a nasty surprise mid-trip.
Split the cost into three buckets. Flights are paid up front; on-the-ground spending is "daily rate × days"; then add a buffer. Estimating each separately is far more accurate than one fuzzy number in your head.
Daily spend varies wildly by region. A week in Southeast Asia and a week in Western Europe can differ several times over. The regional presets here are rough midpoints — hostels vs. hotels, cooking vs. eating out will move the number a lot, so tune the daily figure to how you actually travel.
A buffer isn't wasted money. Currency spreads, a splurge dinner, an extra tour, or a delayed flight you have to cover come out of it. 10–20% of the total is common; the longer or more remote the trip, the more you'll want.
This is a rough estimate for planning only — it doesn't include accommodation tier, insurance, visas or shopping as separate line items. Use it as a starting point, then refine with real quotes.
Hand your destination, days, party size and budget style to AI and get a per-person cost breakdown, a day-by-day itinerary with real place names, and a climate-based packing list — visas and exchange rates checked live. US$4 an hour, up to 8 runs, enough to fine-tune until it fits.
