Travel calculators that
actually plan real trips

Generic converters ignore the messy parts — backtracking, hidden vehicle costs, surprise baggage fees. These three tools handle the questions most travel math gets wrong.

Three tools, three real problems

Each calculator was built because existing options either skip the question entirely or give numbers that don't match real costs.

How to use these tools

1

Pick the tool that matches your problem

You don't need all three. Use the one closest to the question you're actually asking.

2

Fill in only what you know

Reasonable defaults are filled in. The tools will tell you when an assumption is being made.

3

Read the assumptions, not just the number

Every result lists what's included, what's not, and where the answer could be off by 20%+.

Why these calculators exist

Most "travel calculators" online are thin: a single input, a single output, no accounting for the things that actually blow a budget. They were built to capture ad impressions, not to answer a real planning question.

VoyageCalc started as a personal spreadsheet for planning multi-stop road trips with friends. We kept hitting the same three questions — "is this route actually efficient?", "is renting an EV actually cheaper?", "should I just ship this bag home?" — and built these tools so the next trip wouldn't start with the same arguments.

Each tool makes its assumptions visible. The baggage calculator shows prepaid vs gate pricing because that difference can be $200 on a single bag — something almost no other free tool surfaces. The road trip calculator doesn't hide vehicle depreciation behind a "miscellaneous" line because for a 5,000 km trip, depreciation is often the single largest cost.

What problem each tool solves (and where it can't help)

Multi-City Trip Optimizer — answers "is my itinerary actually feasible in the time I have?" It can't tell you which cities are worth visiting, only whether your schedule lets you visit them. It also doesn't have access to live flight prices or schedules.

Road Trip Real Cost — answers "what's the real all-in cost of driving there?" It can't account for accidents, breakdowns, or toll-system differences between countries.

Baggage Fee Reality Check — answers "is the cheapest way to get my bag there really to check it?" It uses posted airline fees; elite status discounts, credit card benefits, and promotional waivers are not modeled.

Who this is for

  • People planning a trip with 3+ destinations and a tight schedule
  • Road-trippers trying to decide gas vs EV, or whether a rental is worth it
  • Travelers who got burned by an unexpected baggage fee on a past trip
  • Anyone who finds existing "travel calculators" too thin to trust

Who this is NOT for

  • Booking — these tools don't sell anything, and they don't replace a travel agent for complex itineraries
  • Visas, vaccinations, or entry rules — those change weekly; check an official source like the destination country's government site
  • Exact currency conversion at live rates — we use rounded reference rates and clearly mark them as such; for actual money exchange, use your bank's rate

About VoyageCalc

What this site is: A small set of free travel-planning calculators built for individual travelers. The site is run by a small independent team that travels frequently and got tired of generic tools that ignored the parts of trip planning that actually cost money.

Who it's for: Independent travelers planning multi-stop trips, road trips, or international flights where the standard "gas + hotel" or "1 checked bag free" assumptions don't apply.

Limitations: These tools use simplified models. Real costs vary by season, exact route, current promotions, and personal habits. Always cross-check with the actual vendor before committing to a non-refundable booking. We are not a travel agency and don't sell bookings, tickets, or insurance.
