Description
Trips have opinions. The Travel Budget Planner gives you the number before the trip picks one for you — then keeps every booking, confirmation number and vacation dollar in one place.
Inside the template — tab by tab
- Start Here — two-minute setup for Excel or Google Sheets.
- Trip Budget — destination, dates, nights and total budget; 8 categories (flights, lodging, food, activities, transport, shopping, insurance, buffer) with planned vs actual, per-day math and a days-to-go countdown. Overshooting turns red.
- Bookings — 20 reservations with type, provider, confirmation number, date, cost and paid ✓ — airport wifi optional.
- Daily Spend — 21 auto-dated days: one number each evening, a running total, and live budget-left that goes red before it’s too late.
- Packing List — 40 lines with categories and a packed counter (the passport row is pre-filled — you’re welcome).
Why it works
Flights and lodging are 50–60% of most trips — book those against a plan and the rest is fun money with a fence around it. Day-4 honesty beats day-9 surprise.
