Methodology

Days = savings ÷ (daily estimate + fixed monthly costs ÷ 30.4). The range applies ±15% to the daily figure. Daily estimates are per person, by tier, dated and sourced on each destination page; they exclude flights between places, insurance and visas. Use the Trip Cost Calculator for a full trip budget.
