What is actually left to spend each day?
Most trip budgets fail because flights and rooms are counted as if they were already spent. This one treats them as committed money.

Committed versus daily money
Transport and lodging are usually paid before the trip or locked by a booking. The calculator removes them from the total and divides the remainder across the days, which is the figure you can actually decide on while travelling.
The committed share is shown as a percentage. When it passes roughly 55 to 60 percent, the daily allowance becomes the constraint on the trip, not the destination.
Keep a buffer
The daily figure is a ceiling, not a target. A ten percent reserve covers the taxi to the airport, the extra night caused by a delay and the currency conversion you did not plan for. Subtract the reserve before dividing if you want a safer number.
Frequently asked questions
Does the daily figure include accommodation?
No. Lodging is entered as a committed cost and removed from the total, so the daily figure covers food, local transport, tickets and incidentals.
What counts as transport?
Anything already committed: flights, intercity trains, a rental car booked in advance. Local daily transport belongs in the daily allowance.
Can I use it for a multi-city trip?
Yes, if you can total the committed transport and lodging across the route. The calculator only needs the totals and the number of days.
Should I budget in my home currency?
Either, as long as every field uses the same currency. For a foreign-currency trip, add the card or conversion fee to the committed costs.
