Editable Travel Budget Planner | Any City Trip Tracker (Digital Download)

A self-contained, interactive travel budget planner that works for any city, any trip. Just open the file in your browser — no software, sign-up, or internet connection required.

Start typing a destination and the planner auto-fills the local currency, a researched suggested budget, and a smart category split for 1,000+ cities worldwide. It scales automatically to your travel dates and party size (adults + kids), and warns you if your budget looks too tight — once proactively when you set your trip up, and again live as you log real expenses.
