A free travel budget calculator — international trips, multiple currencies, one total

Travel Budget Calculator

International travel means juggling several currencies, daily spending and a trip that lasts an awkward number of days. This travel budget calculator brings it all together: set a custom trip duration, enter your daily spending across categories in the currencies they are actually paid in, and see the total trip cost and the amount you have available per day — all in one main Budget Currency.

01— The basics

What a travel budget covers

A travel budget totals everything you will spend on a trip, across the categories you actually encounter on the road — and crucially, in the currencies you actually pay in. Breaking daily spending into categories and converting them into one Budget Currency shows the true cost of the trip and how much you can comfortably spend each day.

Flights & transit

International flights, visas, airport transfers and long-distance trains — often in a foreign currency.

Accommodation

Hotels and rentals paid in the local currency, for every night of the trip.

Food & drink

Daily meals, coffee and drinks — usually the most consistent daily travel cost.

Local transport

Taxis, metro, rideshares and car hire in each city you visit.

Activities

Tours, tickets and experiences, often priced in the destination currency.

Buffer

A small extra for the unexpected — a missed connection, a medical cost, a change of plan.

02— How it works

Custom duration, daily spending, multiple currencies

Three Clear Budget features come together for travel. First, set a Custom Budget Period for the exact trip length. Second, enter each expense as a daily or one-time amount across categories. Third, tick “Use different currency” on any line paid in another currency and pick the currency — Clear Budget converts it into your main Budget Currency with live rates. The result is one total trip cost and a clear amount available per day.

1. Custom trip duration

Set the trip length in days, weeks and months so totals match the real stay.

2. Per-entry currencies

Tag each line with the currency it is paid in — Clear Budget converts them all.

3. Total & per day

See the full trip cost and the daily equivalent in your main Budget Currency.

03— A simple example

A 14-day multi-currency travel example

A 14-day trip across Europe, budgeted in USD. The flight is paid in USD, hotels in EUR, and daily food and transport in EUR. Clear Budget converts everything into USD and shows the total and the daily equivalent. (Illustrative — actual conversions use live rates.)

Flights (USD, one-time)$900

Hotels (€90/night × 14 → USD)~$1,470

Food (€40/day × 14 → USD)~$650

Local transport (€15/day × 14 → USD)~$245

Activities (EUR → USD)~$325

Buffer$200

Total trip cost (14 days, in USD)~$3,790

About $271 per day across the whole trip.

Knowing the daily figure — about $271 — helps you pace spending on the ground. For a single-trip cost breakdown, pair this with the Vacation Budget Calculator; for the currency mechanics, the Multi-Currency Budget Calculator and Custom Period Budget Calculator.

05— FAQ

Travel budget calculator FAQ

How is this different from the Vacation Budget Calculator?

The Vacation Budget Calculator focuses on planning a single trip of any length with a full cost breakdown. This page focuses on the realities of international travel — daily spending across multiple expense categories, several different currencies, and the total trip cost converted into one main Budget Currency with an amount available per day.

Can I enter expenses in different currencies?

Yes. Tick “Use different currency” on any line and choose the currency it is actually paid in — Clear Budget converts it into your main Budget Currency using live rates. So a flight in USD, a hotel in EUR and meals in JPY all roll up into one consistent total.

How do I see how much I can spend per day?

Set a Custom Budget Period equal to your trip length and enter your total travel budget as income (or your available funds). Clear Budget shows the total and the daily equivalent for that exact duration, so you know how much you have per day across the whole trip.

Which currencies are supported?

Clear Budget supports multiple currencies, plus Bitcoin (BTC), with live exchange rates cached for six hours. For the full multi-currency walkthrough, see the Multi-Currency Budget Calculator.
