Every amount in this table is an estimateestimate, derived from the World Bank price level for United States rather than quoted by any seller.
How this is calculated
A US baseline of 90, 210 and 450 USD a day for the three tiers is multiplied by the price level of United States (1, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.1, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 1 USD to the dollar, rounded to two significant digits.
These are modeled estimates, not quoted prices. Read the full formula on the methodology page.

Where the money goes
Daily spending breaks down into three tiers: about $100 for a budget day, $230 for mid-range, and $495 for luxury. Over a full week these become roughly $700, $1,610, and $3,465, with the difference mostly coming from lodging quality, dining choices, and how many paid attractions or extra transport a traveler adds on top of basics like transit fares and coffee.
The lowest costs line up with the off-season months of January, March, and December, when demand drops along with prices for rooms and services. All figures here are estimates meant to give a general sense of spending rather than fixed rates, and actual costs will vary by neighborhood and time of booking.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jan, Mar and Dec.
