How to use the trip cost per person calculator
Build the trip total with the Travel Budget or Road Trip Cost calculator first. Enter shared costs and extras. Add people, days, agreed share weights, personal costs and payments. Choose equal, weights or days with weights.
What the result includes
Days mode applies to the whole shared subtotal. If only accommodation or food depends on days, split those categories separately and combine the results. Names and payments stay in this browser. Deposits are excluded from spending.
Who owes whom
Share minus paid is the remaining contribution; a negative value is money owed to that person. When payments cover the full cost, the result suggests transfers from people who owe to people who overpaid. Final cents are distributed so allocations reconcile.
