Holiday Budget Calculator
Updated: 2025
Plan your holiday costs in detail — flights, accommodation, food, activities, and spending money.
Planning Your Holiday Budget
The average UK family spends around £4,200-£5,800 on a two-week summer holiday abroad (based on 2024 data). Solo travellers typically budget £1,500-£3,000 for a week in Europe, depending on destination and travel style.
Budgeting Tips
Book flights and accommodation early (6-12 months ahead) for the best prices. Travelling outside school holidays can reduce costs by 30-50%. Consider travel cards like Starling or Monzo to avoid foreign transaction fees (typically 2-3% at traditional banks).
Don't Forget These Costs
Commonly overlooked holiday costs: airport parking (£10-25/day at major UK airports), airport transfers at destination, baggage fees (£30-80 per bag on budget airlines), ETIAS or visa fees for some destinations, and travel insurance (never skip this).
