What does this tool do?
A shared trip has a few big costs: lodging, transport and food. This calculator adds them up and divides the total by the number of travellers, with a per-person-per-day figure for comparing destinations.
The Formula
Total = lodging per night × nights + transport + food and activities; cost per person = total ÷ travellersFrequently Asked Questions
How should we split a group trip?
Split shared costs equally and keep personal spending separate. Record who paid each bill so the settlement stays transparent.
What about people who join for part of the trip?
Charge their nights separately or use a per-night share. This calculator assumes everyone stays the same number of nights.
