About Travel Insurance Cost Calculator

The base cost is unit cost times quantity; the overhead percentage adds the contingency that real projects need, and the result is divided back out to give a fully loaded cost per traveller day. Quoting the bare unit cost is how budgets get overrun — the loaded figure is the one to plan against.
