Planning a holiday but puzzled whether it will fit into your budget? There is now a tool which can help you find out the per day cost of your trip.

The service is available at TripIndex, launched by TripAdvisor, a travel portal that helps travellers make an informed decision and not land up eating into their savings.

TripIndex gives travellers an estimate of per day cost of 11 tourist and metro destinations in India and 50 destinations abroad.

“TripIndex is based on the combined cost of one night’s accommodation at a three-star hotel, a core food item, a beverage and a taxi journey at each destination,” said the spokesperson for TripAdvisor.

These costs give one a rough idea of the estimated expenditure and one can compare holiday destinations based on them.

For instance, if you are confused about whether to go to Jaipur or Shimla and have a budget of Rs15,000, visit the TripIndex option of TripAdvisor.

“While the per day cost in Jaipur is Rs3,933, Shimla will cost you Rs5,525. Moreover, popular destinations like Goa, Kochi and Darjeeling are 25% more expensive than Jaipur as they cost you over Rs6,000 per day,” she said.

In case you want to go abroad, Bangkok is an easy-on-the-pocket option as it costs Rs5,104 per day.

TripIndex also shows that Mumbai is the costliest of the metros in India to travel to compared to Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Chennai, as you need Rs7,901 every day to stay here as a tourist.

In case you are dreaming of a trip to Paris, it is the most expensive tourist city according to the index, and will cost you Rs19, 553 per day, nearly four times more expensive than Bangkok, and costlier than other destinations like Zurich (Rs17, 315), Tokyo (Rs16,966), London (Rs17,044) and New York (Rs16,731).
