AI estimate

Trip cost calculator UK

Enter a destination, trip length and group size for an AI-generated spending estimate. Check the amounts against actual booking prices.

Travel style

Estimates are generated in your selected currency. Changing it requires a new estimate; this is not a live exchange-rate converter.

What you enter here is sent to Groq, an AI provider, to produce the result. Leave out names, contact details and booking references. See the privacy policy.

What this estimate is for

Use the estimate to compare destinations and travel styles. Check actual room and transport prices before paying a deposit.

  • Enter a city where possible. A country-wide estimate can hide large differences between stops.
  • Compare a shorter stay or a different travel style if the total exceeds your budget.
  • Replace the estimated amounts with confirmed prices in your own budget as you book.

Categories in the estimate

Check the category details against your itinerary. Include travel to the destination, insurance, visas and booking fees in your own budget without counting them twice.

  • Accommodation for the selected travel style
  • Food and drinks
  • Local transport and activities
  • Entertainment, shopping and other spending

Common questions about trip cost estimates

What the estimate covers, how to read it, and what happens after the budget is agreed.

How accurate are the trip cost estimates?

Treat each result as a rough estimate, not a quote. Prices vary by destination, city, season, availability, and exchange rates. Check live accommodation, transport, and activity prices before booking, then rerun the calculator with the choices your group is actually considering.

Does the trip cost calculator show a per-person estimate?

Yes. Enter the number of travellers and the calculator shows the estimated total for the group, the cost per person, and a per-person daily average. The split is even, so adjust separately if some travellers choose different rooms, activities, or travel dates.

What is included in the trip estimate?

The estimate covers accommodation, food and drinks, local transport, attractions and activities, nightlife and entertainment, plus shopping and miscellaneous spending. It does not look up live fares or booking fees. Check the category details before adding flights, other travel to the destination, visas and insurance to your own budget.

Can this calculator collect money or settle balances?

No. This calculator estimates a budget; it does not process payments or move money. Once the trip starts, log the real costs in the free trip expense splitter, then settle the final balances outside the tool, by bank transfer or in an app such as Revolut.

What should we do after agreeing the budget?

Keep a copy of the estimate and replace it with confirmed prices as you book. Use the expense splitter to calculate balances from actual costs in one session, then copy its summary before closing the page.

Work out who owes what after booking.

Enter actual costs in the expense splitter, then copy the suggested transfers for the group.
