A 3-day trip for 4 people costs ৳38,720 in total — ৳9,680 per person.

How this was calculated
  1. Transport + stay + food + sightseeing + shopping = ৳35,200
  2. Contingency (10%) = ৳3,520
  3. Total = ৳35,200 + ৳3,520 = ৳38,720; per person = ৳9,680, per day = ৳12,906.7

How to use

  1. Enter how many people are going and how many days the trip lasts.
  2. Enter transport (per person, round trip), hotel (per night) and food (per day per person).
  3. Add the sightseeing/ticket and shopping totals.
  4. Set the contingency percent (usually 10%) — you get the total, per-person and per-day figures.

Trip-budget formula

Part Formula Example
Transport Per-person round trip × people 1,500 × 4 = 6,000
Stay Per-night rent × days 3,000 × 3 = 9,000
Food Per-day per-person × people × days 600 × 4 × 3 = 7,200
Subtotal Transport + stay + food + activities + shopping 35,200
Contingency Subtotal × percent ÷ 100 35,200 × 10% = 3,520
Total Subtotal + contingency 38,720

Example: 4 people, 3 days in Cox’s Bazar

Per-person bus fare (round trip) 1,500 taka, hotel 3,000 taka a night, food 600 taka per person a day, sightseeing/tickets 5,000 taka total, shopping 8,000 taka total, contingency 10%.

  • Transport: 1,500 × 4 = 6,000 taka
  • Stay: 3,000 × 3 = 9,000 taka
  • Food: 600 × 4 × 3 = 7,200 taka
  • Subtotal: 6,000 + 9,000 + 7,200 + 5,000 + 8,000 = 35,200 taka
  • Contingency: 35,200 × 10% = 3,520 taka
  • Total: 38,720 taka — 9,680 taka per person, 12,906.7 taka per day on average.

Why keep a contingency fund

Broken-down vehicles, a hotel change, medicine or a sudden boat hire — surprise costs are normal on tours. A 10% contingency on the subtotal covers these without borrowing from anyone. If money is left over, split it equally and return it to everyone.

In this planner you enter every price yourself — no outside fares or rates are fetched, so no external source is needed.

More: season and daily-budget rules

The November–February winter season brings the heaviest crowds to Cox’s Bazar, Sajek and Saint Martin — hotel rents can nearly double, and buses sell out unless booked ahead. For winter trips enter peak-season rates and keep a 10% contingency.

Quick rule of thumb: for a mid-range domestic trip keep 3,000–3,500 taka per person per day. The Cox’s Bazar example above gives 9,680 ÷ 3 days ≈ 3,227 taka — right inside that range.

Frequently asked questions

What is the trip-budget formula?

Total = (transport × people + hotel × days + food × people × days + activities + shopping) + contingency. Contingency = subtotal × percent ÷ 100.

How is the per-person cost calculated?

Divide the total budget by the number of people. For example 38,720 taka among 4 people is 9,680 each.

What contingency percent should I keep?

Keep 5–10% normally. For monsoon trips or far-off places (Sajek, Saint Martin) 10–15% is safer, since transport and hotel prices can jump.

Should hotel cost be per person or total?

Enter the whole group's one-night total — the calculator multiplies it by the number of days. If 4 people share one room, just enter the room rent.

Is winter travel more expensive?

Yes, in the November–February peak season Cox's Bazar and Sajek hotel rents can nearly double. Enter peak-season rates and keep a 10% contingency for winter trips.

What is a normal per-person daily budget?

For a mid-range domestic trip, keep 3,000–3,500 taka per person per day. In the example above 9,680 ÷ 3 days is about 3,227 taka — right inside that range.
