About Tour Package Pricing Calculator

Tour pricing spreads the fixed cost of a departure — guide, vehicle, permits — across the group and adds the per-person direct cost, then grosses up for margin. Because the fixed element per person falls sharply with group size, minimum-departure thresholds are essential.

Formulas

Cost per person

Cost = Direct cost per person + Fixed departure cost / Group size

Price

Price = Cost per person / (1 - Target margin %)

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do small groups cost so much more?

Because the guide and vehicle cost the same whether four or fourteen people travel. That fixed cost per head more than triples between those group sizes.

What is a minimum departure number?

The group size below which the departure loses money at the published price. Operators either cancel or apply a small-group surcharge.
