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 Canada (0.8344741275744272, 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 1.39810565893901 CAD 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
The daily cost tiers reflect where money goes at each comfort level: the $85 budget tier covers basic lodging, simple meals, and public transit, while the $195 mid-range tier allows for a standard hotel room, restaurant meals, and occasional paid attractions. At $415 a day, the luxury tier adds higher-end lodging, more frequent restaurant dining, and less reliance on budgeting for transport or activities. Over a full week these tiers scale to $595, $1,365, and $2,905, giving a sense of total trip cost before booking.
January, March, and December are the off season months, when both crowds and prices tend to ease compared with the busier months. The cost estimates above are general figures for planning purposes rather than fixed prices, and actual spending will vary based on individual choices around lodging, dining, and activities within each tier.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jan, Mar and Dec.
