Travel Savings Planner: Save for Your Dream Trip, Week by Week
Dreaming of a getaway but not sure how to fund it? Use our free travel savings calculator to find out exactly how much to put aside each week, fortnight or month to hit your holiday budget by your departure date. Enter your numbers below — then let Odyssey Adventures help you lock it in and pay it off over time.
How the travel savings calculator works
Saving for a holiday is simple when you break it into small, regular amounts. Here’s how:
- Enter your trip budget — your best estimate of the total cost (flights, tours, accommodation and spending money).
- Add anything you’ve already saved — the calculator works out the gap that’s left.
- Pick your travel date — we divide what’s left across the weeks until you go.
In seconds you’ll see your weekly, fortnightly and monthly savings target. Start earlier and that weekly number gets smaller — so the sooner you plan, the easier it is.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I save each week for a holiday? It depends on your total budget and how long until you travel. Divide the amount you still need by the number of weeks until departure — or use the calculator above to get your exact weekly, fortnightly and monthly figure instantly.
Can I book a trip and pay it off over time? Yes. At Odyssey Adventures you can secure your trip with a deposit and pay the balance in instalments before you travel, rather than paying the full amount upfront.
Do I have to pay for accommodation upfront? Usually not. For most trips, accommodation isn’t due until close to your departure date — often a couple of weeks beforehand — so you can keep saving while your trip is locked in.
When should I start planning my trip? As early as possible. Planning ahead lowers your weekly savings target, gives you the widest choice of flights, tours and dates, and lets you lock in current pricing with a deposit.
What’s the best way to budget for a dream trip? Set a realistic total budget, subtract anything you’ve already saved, then split the rest into regular weekly or fortnightly amounts. Automating that transfer to a separate savings account makes it effortless.
