Stop guessing
what a trip costs.
Type a destination. Get an itemized budget in seconds — with every assumption visible and an honest confidence band on the total.
Three steps.
Then a number you can defend.
Tell it where
Destination, dates, party size, and one of three style tiers — budget, comfort, lux. That is the whole form.
It cites the math
Every figure shows the assumption behind it: fare class, hotel band, daily food spend, the number of paid attractions. Edit any of them; the total updates live.
You get a range
A single headline figure with an honest ±%. We will not tell you a trip costs $1,500–$5,000. We will tell you $3,840 with a 12% band, and show you why.
Trips, costed honestly.
The estimate is itemized.
The assumptions are visible.
The confidence is honest.
We model six categories against live availability and pricing from major travel suppliers, blended with our own destination corpus. Every figure shows its source. Every band tells you what we are not sure about. No round numbers we did not earn.
Heads up: travel prices are dynamic and shift hourly. The number is the best estimate at the moment you ask. Book within a day and our estimates land within 10% of actual cost 90%+ of the time; wait a fortnight and supply-side swings can move the figure either way.

Questions, answered.
Is the number going to be right?
It will be within the band we show, on average 91% of the time — measured at the moment of estimate. Prices move; if you book within a day, our estimates land within 10% of actual cost 90%+ of the time. If you wait two weeks, that drifts. We publish the back-tests.
Where does the data come from?
We check live availability and pricing across major travel suppliers, blended with our own destination corpus and on-the-ground spend research. We don't disclose specific supplier integrations because the mix changes — what we promise is that every line on the estimate cites its assumption.
Why not just use Kayak?
Kayak prices a ticket. We price a trip. Lodging, food, transit, activities, the buffer for the things you forgot — all of it, in one figure.
Do you book anything?
Yes — paid tiers can confirm flights, hotels, transfers, and curated activities directly through TripBudget, with Stripe-processed payment. The estimator is also free to use on its own if all you want is a defensible number.
What if I have a really specific trip?
Edit the assumptions. Want a 4-star hotel instead of mid-range? Change it. Want to add a $2,400 photography workshop? Add it. The total moves.
