How the estimate works
Useful planning range, not a booking promise.
The calculator combines refreshed country-level cost data with a disclosed short-stay model. Actual prices still vary by city, season, events, booking lead time, and personal choices.
Refreshed baseline
A dated country-level monthly estimate is cached locally and reviewed when it becomes older than 90 days.
Travel model
The baseline is divided into visible categories, adjusted for trip style, traveler count, room sharing, and a short-stay uplift.
Current conversion
USD source values are converted into the selected home currency using a dated exchange rate, with a cached fallback during short outages.
