Budgets & Costs

Understanding daily budget estimates

How we calculate budget, mid-range, and luxury daily costs for each city, and what's included.

What's in the estimate

Each city has a prices grid showing estimated costs across 12 categories: hostel dorm, mid-range hotel, cheap meal, cappuccino, local beer, transit day pass, short taxi, airport transfer, bottled water, tourist eSIM, attraction ticket, and car rental. Prices are shown in USD by default and converted to your home currency when set.

Three budget tiers

Budget tier: hostel + 2 cheap meals + transit. Mid-range tier: mid-range hotel + 2 cheap meals + cappuccino + transit + beer. Luxury tier: 2x mid-range hotel + 2 cheap meals + cappuccino + attraction + short taxi + beer. All estimates are per day in USD (converted to your home currency when set).

Trip total estimates

On the trip detail page, each day card shows the estimated daily cost for that city. At the bottom, a trip budget card totals the estimates across all days to give you a full-trip spending estimate.

Currency display

Set your home currency in Account settings. Price comparisons and city cards will show costs converted to your preferred currency where data is available.
