Why add a reserve to a travel budget?
Trips often include exchange-rate movement, extra transport, baggage, mobile data, medical needs, or impulse purchases. A 10% to 20% buffer is usually safer.

Travel Budget Currency Calculator

These are estimates — real spending depends a lot on your style and the city, so it's better to over-budget than cut it too fine.
