The Budget tab shows estimated and booked costs for the trip. Some of it fills in automatically. The rest is yours to estimate.
What gets totaled automatically
Stopover sums these as you build the trip:
- Flights (cash) — every flight leg's price.
- Flight taxes — any taxes or surcharges captured during search.
- Hotels (cash) — every stay's room cost.
- Activities — every activity's cost, multiplied by the number of travelers.
You don't have to do anything to populate these — they update the moment you add or change a leg.
What you fill in yourself
Some things are too variable to auto-fill. Stopover gives you editable rows for:
- Food — a rough daily or trip-wide estimate.
- Ground transit — taxis, transfers, metro passes, train tickets you didn't add as full legs.
- Miscellaneous — souvenirs, tips, the "we'll figure it out" bucket.
Click any of these rows to edit. Numbers save automatically.
Travelers
Set the number of travelers in the trip header. Stopover uses it to multiply per-person costs (like activities) so the total reflects your whole party. Flights and hotels typically have a single price already (you booked one cabin, one room), so they're not multiplied.
Multiple currencies
If your trip mixes currencies — say, an EUR hotel, a USD flight, and a JPY train ticket — Stopover keeps each in its own currency and shows them stacked rather than converted. You'll see something like:
Total: $4,210 USD + €820 EUR + ¥38,000 JPY
We don't convert because exchange rates change daily and the "true" cost depends on when you actually pay. If you want a single rough total in your home currency, plug the numbers into a converter — but the budget keeps the originals intact.
Booked vs. estimated
Booked and unbooked legs are both counted in the total. The booked tally in the top bar is just a progress meter — it's not what the cost is based on.
