Plan & prepare

Travel budget: plan, spend, stay on track

What the trip may cost – and what it really costs, in any currency.

In short

How do I keep track of my travel budget?

In the budget of the wemake.holiday trip planner you plan per category – flights, accommodation, food & drink, local transport, excursions & admission, other – and enter expenses in any currency while you travel. They are converted at the European Central Bank’s reference rates. You see amounts per day, per person and how much you have left per day.

The problem

On holiday it’s easy to lose track: expenses in a foreign currency, by card and in cash, spread over many days. In the end it was more expensive than expected.

  • Converting foreign currencies in your head
  • No idea how much is left per day
  • Plan and reality in separate spreadsheets

The solution

The budget puts plan and expenses side by side and converts everything into your travel currency.

  • Plan per category
  • Expenses in any currency, converted at ECB reference rates
  • Per day, per person and “… left per day”
  • Import your own bookings (with an account)
  • Hotel costs from the AI travel route come along as planned budget
