Budget your road trip
A weekend getaway or a long family drive costs more than fuel. The calculator adds up fuel, tolls and parking, hotel nights, food and extras, then divides the total by the number of travellers, so everyone knows their share before you set off.
A travel budget calculator and road trip cost calculator with cost per person.
Example
A 300 km drive each way for 4 people over 3 days and 2 nights:
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Fuel: 600 km at 15 km/l and 95 a litre | 3,800 |
| Tolls | 800 |
| Stay: 2 nights at 3,000 | 6,000 |
| Food: 600 per person per day | 7,200 |
| Total | 17,800 |
| Per person | 4,450 |
Tips for each cost
- Fuel: use your real-world mileage, and remember the trip back. The fuel cost calculator handles fuel alone.
- Tolls: check your route in a maps app or on the toll operator’s site, both ways.
- Stay: enter the total for all rooms per night.
- Food: a daily amount per person covers breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.
- Other: entry tickets, guides, shopping and souvenirs.
Keep 10–15% extra for detours, city driving and surprises.
Splitting fairly
The calculator splits the total equally. Groups often adjust: the car owner may pay less to cover wear and tear, or a couple sharing a room may pay one share of the stay. Copy the breakdown to your group chat to agree before the trip.
Saving up for a bigger holiday? Turn the total into a monthly target with the savings goal calculator, and count down with days until.
Frequently asked questions
How do I budget for a road trip?
Add up fuel, tolls and parking, stay, food and extras. A 300 km each-way trip for 4 people over 3 days and 2 nights, at 15 km/l and 95 a litre, with 800 in tolls, 3,000 a night for rooms and 600 per person per day for food, comes to 17,800, or 4,450 each.
How do I estimate tolls?
Check a maps app or the toll operator’s website for your route, and remember to count both directions on a round trip.
How do we split the cost fairly?
The calculator divides the total equally. If someone drives their own car, many groups let the driver skip the fuel share or pay a little less.
How much extra should I keep?
Add 10–15% for detours, city driving, snacks and surprises. For fuel alone, the fuel cost calculator gives a quick answer.
