About Trip Budget & Currency Buffer Planner
Plan budget with exchange-rate and contingency buffers.
How Buffering Works
- Calculates base total from daily and fixed costs.
- Applies your FX buffer plus a trip-length contingency.
- Converts buffered total into destination currency.
When To Use
- International trips with uncertain exchange conditions.
- Long multi-city travel where costs can drift upward.
- Planning spending caps before booking flights/hotels.
Tips
- Use higher buffer percentages for volatile currencies.
- Re-run after major booking changes.
- Separate mandatory spend from flexible spend for better control.
