Couple Travel Budget Planner

What this couple travel budget planner does

This tool uses AI to break down your total trip cost into daily expenses, per-person spending, and category allocations based on real, typical costs at your specific destination — not a fixed generic split. Accommodation-heavy in expensive cities, transport-heavy in spread-out destinations, the breakdown adjusts to where you're actually going.

How to use it

1. Enter your destination

The AI tailors the breakdown to real costs at this specific place.

2. Set days and total budget

Used to calculate your daily and per-person spending.

3. Calculate

Review the category breakdown and destination-specific tips.

Why the split changes by destination

A $2,000 budget in Bangkok and a $2,000 budget in Zurich don't split the same way, and a fixed percentage formula misses that entirely. In a city where accommodation is genuinely expensive relative to food and transport, the AI weights accordingly; somewhere with cheap, plentiful public transit and pricier dining, the split shifts the other way. This is the specific gap a generic "35% hotel, 25% food" calculator can't close, because it's the same math regardless of where you're actually going.

A worked example

Two people traveling to Lisbon for 6 days on a $1,500 total budget will typically see a heavier food-and-activities allocation than the same budget in, say, Tokyo, where accommodation eats a larger share even at mid-range hotels. Entering your actual destination is what makes the numbers below useful rather than generic — skipping it and leaving the field blank falls back to a broad average that's noticeably less accurate.
