A short holiday / A connected starting plan

A little island escape.

Two nights usually means three days of spending. Keep those units separate, price the shared parts once, and make room for the little extras.

Build the whole trip first

Start with two people, two nights and three days in one room. Replace the sample room, food, transport and activity amounts with your bookings and plans.

Two nights and three days away.

Example: 2 people, 2 nights, 3 days, 1 room at €90/night, €25 food per person/day, €60 shared transport, €40 shared activities, no other costs and 10% contingency.

Food is per person per day. Accommodation is per room per night. Shared transport and activity totals are counted once, not once per traveller.

Add Gozo only if it is in your plan

For a Gozo Channel trip, try two standard adults on foot and one return crossing. Change the categories or vehicle option if your party is different.

Editable starting example

Two on foot

Two standard adults, one return crossing.

Take forwardIf the crossing is extra, add the ferry result once to your holiday transport allowance. If it is already included, replace the relevant allowance rather than adding it twice.

This is Gozo Channel between Ċirkewwa and Mġarr. A return ticket already includes the crossing back. Valletta and other ferry operators have separate fares.

The useful bit to keep

One trip. No doubled costs.

  • The holiday transport allowance is a shared total. Replace or add a component once as appropriate.
  • A contingency is a buffer you choose, not a guarantee that every cost is covered.
  • Save the final holiday report after updating your actual bookings. The plan link always shares the public starting point, not your figures.

Keep this starting checklist, or share the public plan. Your calculator results stay in their own tabs. Download those separately once you have entered your figures.
