Common questions
How much does a typical UK gap year cost?
Anywhere from £4,000 for a couple of months in Southeast Asia to £15,000+ for a full round-the-world year. Flights, accommodation style and trip length are the biggest drivers.
What's included in the budget?
Everything — flights both ways, visas, vaccinations, insurance, gear, accommodation, food, local transport, activities, SIM, plus a 10% buffer. We assume you've booked nothing yet.
Are the prices accurate?
We use current UK pricing where possible and conservative averages otherwise. You can edit every line and the totals update instantly.
