Disclaimer

Last updated October 2026. Wandurance is a free planning tool and a first port of call for travel research — not a booking service and not a source of official figures. Please read these points before relying on any number you see here.

Estimates, not quotes

Daily costs are planning estimates, not prices you can book. Each country's figure comes from a price-level index that is Wandurance's own traveler-focused estimate, set by hand from public cost-of-living information and cross-checked against the World Bank's national price-level data. We don't copy the World Bank figures directly: they average prices across a whole economy, so they tend to understate what visitors pay for accommodation and eating out. Price data last reviewed: October 2026. Figures are not live and are not updated automatically between reviews.

National averages, not your exact city

Each index is a national figure. The City cost level setting applies a rough adjustment — higher for capitals and major hubs, lower for smaller towns — but real prices vary with neighbourhood, season, and travel style. Popular traveler destinations are the most carefully checked; for less-visited countries, treat the numbers as a rougher guide.

What isn't included

Flights, visas and entry fees, travel insurance, gear, one-off costs such as deposits, tours or events, and emergencies are not part of the daily estimate. The basic-medical amount is a small buffer for routine clinic visits, not a substitute for travel or health insurance.

Currency and inflation

Exchange rates and local prices can change quickly, especially in countries with high inflation or a recent currency devaluation. A figure that was reasonable at our last review can become outdated within months.

Visa and entry information

Any visa-free stay lengths shown are general guidance for US passport holders, summarised from public sources, and rules change without notice. Always confirm entry requirements with the destination's official government or embassy sources before you book or travel.

Not professional advice

Nothing on Wandurance is financial, legal, tax, immigration, or medical advice. For decisions with real financial or legal consequences, speak to a qualified professional.

Affiliate links

Some links — for example to accommodation or travel-insurance providers — are affiliate links. Wandurance may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships never change the cost estimates, which are calculated the same way for every country. Wandurance doesn't control third-party sites; their prices, terms, and availability are their own.

Independence

Wandurance is independent. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government, embassy, airline, bank, the World Bank, or any booking or insurance provider. Third-party names are used only to identify them.

No guarantee

Wandurance is provided "as is", without any warranty that its figures are accurate, complete, or current. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Wandurance is not liable for any loss or decision arising from use of the website or app. Use the estimates as a starting point, and verify prices, rules, and requirements yourself before booking.
