📖What is it?

Daily Travel Budget is the amount you have left to spend each day after pre-paying all major fixed costs (flights and accommodation). Breaking the remaining budget into daily allowances prevents overspending and helps you make real-time decisions at restaurants, attractions, and shops.

🎯How to use

1. Enter your total trip budget. 2. Input trip duration and pre-booked fixed costs (flights + accommodation). The calculator subtracts fixed costs and divides the remainder equally across days, with suggested category splits.

💡Example scenario

$3,000 budget for 14 days. Flights $800 + accommodation $600 = $1,400 fixed. Remaining = $1,600. Daily budget = $114/day. Food allocation = $40/day, Activities = $34/day, Misc = $40/day. This maps to a comfortable mid-range trip in Southeast Asia.

🏆Pro tip

Build in a 10�15% buffer for unexpected expenses (medical, rebooking fees, last-minute experiences). Track spending daily with an app like Trail Wallet or TravelSpend. In high-COL destinations, allocate more (50%) to accommodation and transport; in budget destinations, flip the ratio and spend more on authentic local experiences.
