How to use this calculator
- Enter who’s going and for how many nights, then the fares and room rate you found.
- Set a daily spend per person, add tours, and keep a buffer for surprises.
How it’s computed
Days = nights + 1. Lodging = room rate × rooms × nights.
Subtotal = fares × travelers + lodging + daily spend × travelers × days + tours × travelers.
Budget = subtotal + buffer % of subtotal. Per person = budget ÷ travelers.
Example
A couple plans 3 nights with ₱5,000.00 fares each and a ₱2,500.00 room.
- Fares ₱10,000.00, lodging ₱7,500.00, daily spend ₱9,600.00, tours ₱4,000.00.
- With a 10% buffer: ₱34,210.00, or ₱17,105.00 each.
Frequently asked questions
How much buffer should I add?
Ten percent covers most surprises: a pricier meal, a tricycle you didn’t plan for, or a rebooking fee. Go higher for long trips or trips abroad.
What counts as daily spend?
Meals, drinks, and local rides like tricycles, jeepneys and Grab. Tours and entrance fees go in their own field since they are usually paid once.
How do I budget for a trip abroad?
Enter everything in pesos at today’s exchange rate, and add the travel tax, terminal fees and travel insurance under fares.
Why are days one more than nights?
You eat and get around on both the arrival day and the departure day, so a three-night trip has four days of spending.
