Without a doubt the most common questions I receive through this site are related to the cost of travelling; “how much does it cost to travel around the world?”, “what is the daily budget for Thailand?”, “how much money do I need for 6 months backpacking around Europe?”, and so on.

My response is usually the same; “it depends”.

Some people can travel the world cheaply and others simply can’t – it depends on so many factors, such as the type and quality of accommodation you stay in, how you travel, what, where and how much you eat, whether you drink alcohol or not, what sort of activities you like doing, etc, etc. If you couchsurf, hitchhike and scrounge for food you can travel the world for very little, but that certainly isn’t for everyone.

I have created this tool to give you a rough estimation on the minimum daily amount of money you will need to travel in a particular destination. I am sure some people will be able to travel for cheaper, and certainly many others will spend a lot more, as these figures don’t include certain costs. These figures are mainly for people on a scrimper budget. Before using the tool you should probably read below about what these figures mean and how to use them.

Please wait for the page to fully load before using the tool.
