Currency Converter & Travel Budget Planner
Convert your trip budget between currencies and split it into a daily spending plan across accommodation, food, transport, and activities.
Travel Budget Formula
The calculator converts your total trip budget from your home currency to your destination currency using the selected exchange rate, then divides it across your trip length and your chosen category split for accommodation, food, transport, and activities. Any percentage left over after those four categories is allocated to miscellaneous spending.
Exchange rates fluctuate constantly and vary by provider, card network, and exchange location. This calculator uses a fixed reference rate for planning purposes — check current rates with your bank or card issuer before you travel, since real rates (and any conversion fees) will differ slightly from the estimate shown here.
