Whenever I started planning a trip, the first question was always the same: how much is this actually going to cost? And the honest answer online was usually a vague "Thailand is cheap" or "Switzerland is expensive," which tells you nothing when you're trying to decide if a trip is realistic. So I built a calculator that gives a real, itemized budget instead of a gut feeling. Pick a country (or several for a multi-country trip), your dates, how many people, and your travel style from budget to luxury. It breaks the cost down per category: accommodation, food, transport, activities, visas, eSIM, flights, airport transfer, insurance, all based on current 2026 pricing and adjusted for the season you're traveling in. Every line is editable, so you can match it to how you actually travel. It covers 146 countries, is completely free, no signup, and works in 5 languages. Would love feedback, especially on pricing accuracy for destinations you know well, and which categories you'd want to see added.
