The formula

spending = budget − fixed costs − reserve daily allowance = spending ÷ days ÷ travellers

Costs in another currency should be converted first at your own rate, as the figures are all treated as one currency.

What to watch out for

Check it against the prices where you are going, and track your spending for the first few days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I work out a daily travel budget?

Take off what is already paid and a reserve, then divide by the days and people. From 3,000, with 1,800 fixed and 10% in reserve, two people on a 10-day trip have 45.00 each per day.

How much should I keep in reserve?

There is no fixed figure. It should at least cover a changed booking or a night somewhere unplanned.
