Line up to 5 trips side by side, fill in the numbers you've found and let the spreadsheet do the math for the whole thing, not just the flights.

A $304 flight and a $64 flight to the same city can be four weeks apart, and the cheaper month might also come with cheaper housing. It's the total cost, not any single line item, that tells you whether a trip fits your budget. This spreadsheet shows you that number before you book anything.

Enter the costs you've found for each option and estimate the ones you haven't: flights both ways, accommodation, fees, whatever applies to your trip. The sheet totals each option and lines them up in one view, including a calculated monthly cost so a 4-week trip and a 12-week trip compare fairly.

Each column also holds the details you'd otherwise lose in your notes app: airports and flight times, number of stops, accommodation type, cost per night, visa rules, WiFi quality, time zone and more.

Once you've picked a trip, the built-in Budget Tracker takes over, with 9 spending categories to track estimated versus actual costs as you travel.

What's included:

• 3 Trip Comparison tabs, up to 5 options each

• 3 Budget Tracker tabs, estimated vs. actual across 9 categories

• Auto-calculated totals, monthly cost and cost per night

• Frozen headers so trip names stay visible as you scroll

• Full instructions tab with setup and customization tips

• Works in any currency

Delivered as one .xlsx file, compatible with Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice. No formulas to build and no spreadsheet skills required. Works on phone, tablet or computer, and it's reusable for every trip you plan from now on.
