Practical travel arithmetic

Travel Quote Lab

Bring the prices, fees, dates and allowances you were actually offered. These twelve worksheets expose their assumptions so you can compare like with like. They do not pull live prices, recommend financial products or certify that a journey is safe.

Nothing you enter here is saved to your account or sent by these calculators. Reloading clears the inputs. Use the same currency within each cost comparison. Example buttons contain illustrative numbers, not quotes or published country baselines.

Use the calculation methods without JavaScript

The interactive worksheets require JavaScript. For lodging, multiply nightly price by nights, add mandatory fees and the actual tax; keep refundable deposits separate. For flights, add fare, bags, seats and transfers. Move-in cash combines initial rent, deposit and setup charges; a deposit is not recurring rent.

For exchange quotes, deduct disclosed fees before applying the offered rate when that matches the provider's fee basis. Compare fixed plus percentage payment fees in one currency. Bag weight is the empty bag plus all contents; check dimensions separately. Mobile data is daily megabytes multiplied by days and your chosen buffer, divided by 1,000 for decimal gigabytes.

For a shared bill, add any extra tip once and divide by people. Available cash days equal spendable cash divided by the daily amount you choose. A transit pass breaks even when covered ride fares reach its cost. Transfer buffers subtract your chosen processing and travel times from the time between connections. Compare time zones using the same absolute instant, not identical local clock readings.
