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 India (0.23048401137914248, 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 87.1584483507393 INR 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 difference in daily spending mostly reflects lodging quality and dining choices. The budget tier, about $25 a day or $175 a week, covers a hostel bed like the $8 dorm estimate, cheap meals around $3, and local transport around $2. The mid-range tier, about $55 a day or $385 a week, allows for a private hotel room near $30 a night, restaurant meals around $12, and small extras such as a $5 attraction fee. The luxury tier, about $115 a day or $805 a week, leaves room for higher-end lodging and dining while still following the same cost structure.
The cheapest and quietest months to visit are April, May, and June, the off-season, when demand and prices for lodging tend to ease compared with peak months such as January, February, July, August, November, and December. All figures here are estimates meant to guide planning rather than fixed prices, since actual costs vary by neighborhood, season, and personal choices.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Apr, May and Jun.
