Frequently Asked Questions – Trip Budget Planner

How accurate are the preset destination costs?

Preset costs are based on average prices across popular destinations. Domestic: $300-800 flights, $80-150 hotels. International Budget: $500-1200 flights, $30-80 accommodation. Mid-range: $800-1800 flights, $80-200 hotels. Luxury: $1500+ flights, $300+ hotels. Always research specific destinations for accuracy.

How does seasonal pricing affect my budget?

Low season offers 20% discounts on accommodation and activities. Shoulder season uses standard pricing. High season adds 30% premium, and peak season adds 50% premium. This affects accommodation, activities, and local transport but not flights (enter actual flight costs).

Why is an emergency fund important for travel?

Emergency funds cover unexpected expenses like flight changes, medical emergencies, lost luggage, extended stays due to weather, or unplanned activities. We recommend 20% of your total budget, but 25% for international or adventurous travel.

How can I reduce my trip costs effectively?

Book flights 2-3 months in advance, choose shoulder season travel, consider hostels or Airbnb, eat local street food, use public transport, book activities online in advance, and travel with a group to split accommodation costs.

What’s the best way to save for a trip?

Create a dedicated travel savings account, automate weekly transfers, cut unnecessary subscriptions, cook at home more often, sell unused items, take on freelance work, and use travel rewards credit cards for everyday purchases.
