FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the budget estimates?

Estimates are based on aggregated traveler data from 183 destinations. They reflect mid-year averages and should be used as planning baselines, not exact figures.

What does "travel style" change in the calculation?

Each style applies a daily rate multiplier: Budget (0.6x), Mid-range (1x), Comfort (1.7x), Luxury (3.2x). These scale accommodation, food, and transport costs accordingly.

Is the packing planner linked to the budget calculator?

The tools are independent. You can use either or both depending on what stage of planning you are in.

Do you store my input data?

No data is stored or transmitted. All calculations run locally in your browser.
