Total Trip Cost

The road trip calculator estimates total trip costs including fuel, lodging, and food. This helps budget vacations realistically and avoid overspending on travel.

Enter miles, vehicle MPG, gas price, hotel nights and cost, and daily food budget. The calculator breaks down costs by category and provides a total.

This helps compare road trips versus flying, set realistic vacation budgets, and understand the true cost of travel beyond just fuel. Don't forget to add entertainment, tolls, and activities separately.
