Travel Budget Spreadsheet | Vacation Cost Savings Planner (Google Sheets, Excel)

Description

Travel Budget Spreadsheet — Not sure what your trip will really cost? The Travel Budget Calculator tells you exactly what your trip costs before you book – and how much to save each month to afford it. A calculating Google Sheets and Excel spreadsheet (not a blank planner) for travelers: add your flights, hotel and daily spending, and get your trip total, cost per day, cost per person, and a monthly savings plan.

What’s inside your Travel Budget Spreadsheet

What It Calculates

• Trip total from every expense by category (flights, hotel, food, activities, an emergency buffer and more)
• Cost per day and cost per person
• Exactly how much to save each month before departure to afford the whole trip
• Estimated vs actual, with an over / under budget total as you book and spend

What’s Inside

• Dashboard – trip total, cost per day and per person, savings plan and budget vs actual, at a glance
• Setup – destination, days, travelers, months until the trip, and what you’ve already saved
• Budget – every expense; pick a category from the dropdown, enter estimated and actual
• Savings – how much to set aside each month, with a countdown to departure
• How it works – a quick guide

The Savings Plan

Here’s the part most trip planners skip. You’ve already saved some – so you save toward the rest: (trip total minus what you’ve saved) divided by the months until you go. No last-minute credit-card scramble. It even includes an emergency buffer category most budgets forget.
