Learn more about this calculator
Group trips look great in the WhatsApp chat and fall apart at the spreadsheet. The Group Trip Planner gives every traveler their own flight cost (because someone's always coming from a different city), a shared-lodging split, and a 30-item activity catalog they can opt in or out of.
A "fit to budget" solver tells you which activities to drop to bring the total under everyone's comfort threshold.

Frequently asked questions
Does this work for solo or single-couple trips, or just groups?
Both. Set the traveler count to 1 or 2 and the per-traveler flight matrix collapses cleanly. The group-split logic kicks in only when there's more than one travel party.
