Travel spending sneaks up — a coffee here, a taxi there — and a mental budget drifts before you notice. A trip budget tracker makes the drift visible early, when it's still a small adjustment.
How it works
- Set one total for the trip before you leave.
- Log each expense in seconds — description, amount, category, date.
- Watch a colour-coded bar shift from green to amber to red as you spend.
- See the breakdown by day and category, so you know if it's the dinners or the taxis adding up.
Set a budget you'll actually keep
Be honest about the boring costs — airport transfers, the first-night meal, a SIM — and keep 10–15% as a buffer. Convert your total to the local currency so prices on the ground feel real.
Log it the moment you pay
Five seconds at the table beats ten minutes of reconstruction at the hotel. Trip Companion is built mobile-first, so logging on the go is easy and your numbers stay with the trip.
