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 Ukraine (0.3102827126490781, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.15, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 41.6890720433333 UAH 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 estimates of $30, $75, and $160 mostly separate travelers by lodging quality and how often they eat at sit-down restaurants versus cheaper spots, since local transport and small purchases stay inexpensive at every level. Over a full week those daily rates turn into $210, $525, and $1,120, and the gap between tiers widens mainly because of hotel choice rather than food or transit costs, which change less between budget and luxury travelers.
January, November, and December are the off-season months in the data and are also the cheapest and quietest time to visit, since lodging demand drops along with temperatures. All the dollar figures here are estimates meant to describe typical spending patterns, not fixed prices, so actual costs for any individual trip will vary by choices in lodging and dining.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jan, Nov and Dec.
