Looking for a simple budget calculator for travel that will do all the adding up for you? You’ve come to the right place. Grab this free, family-friendly template to plan your next holiday without the guesswork. It works in Excel and Google Sheets, covers both bulk costs (flights, accommodation, insurance, etc) and daily spending (food, transport, sightseeing), and adds everything up for you – no formulas needed.
What you can expect from this travel budget calculator
- Section 1: Trip info – today’s date, departure/return, trip title, number of people. Auto-calculates trip length and days until departure.
- Section 2: Bulk costs – this is where you put figures for the big outlays like flights, accommodation, travel insurance, car hire, major tours and airport transfers. The travel budget calculator auto calculates a bulk total for you.
- Section 3: Daily costs (for your family per day) – this is where you put your approximate daily costs, such as public transport, taxi/Uber, food, sightseeing and other. Shows a per-day total and a whole-trip cost.
- Section 4: Final summary – this section shows you total trip costs and once you enter how much you’ve saved so far, the budget calculator will auto-calculate how much you have left to save for bulk travel costs and daily costs.
