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 Indonesia (0.2865054088466246, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.3, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 16477.8651797836 IDR 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
Across the three tiers, the daily cost estimates of $35, $80, and $170 mainly reflect differences in lodging quality and how much a traveler eats out versus sticks to cheaper local food. The mid-range figure adds more comfortable lodging and regular restaurant meals, while the luxury tier assumes higher-end accommodation and less price-conscious choices for transport and activities. Over seven days these tiers total $245, $560, and $1,190, giving a rough sense of what a week actually costs at each style of travel.
January, February, and October are the cheapest and quietest months to visit, which can make the same daily budget stretch further outside peak demand. All figures here are estimates meant to guide planning rather than fixed prices, since actual costs will vary by traveler and by where they choose to spend their money within each tier.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jan, Feb and Oct.
