How does the target average work?

What does it mean for me and why is it useful?

The target average is a dynamically calculated daily budget. It’s the amount of money, you can spend on average per day during the remainder of your trip without exceeding your overall budget. This information helps you to plan your daily spending for the rest of your trip - without exceeding your original budget for this trip. To put it simply, the target average helps you to plan your “financial behavior” for the rest of your trip.

How is it calculated?

It’s what was left of your total trip budget at the start of today divided by the number of days left on your trip.

Example:

Your total trip length:
10 days
Your total budget:
€1000
Number of days you've been on your trip so far:
6 (4 days left)
All the expenses up to today:
€800
What was left of your total trip budget at the start of today:
€200
Your target average:
€200 / 4 = €50

What happens if you exclude entries from the daily metrics?

By excluding entries from the daily metrics, the target average will be reduced proportionally. If you excluded any expenses from the daily metrics, the calculation is as follows: What was left of your total trip budget at the start of today minus the total amount you’ve excluded from the daily metrics divided by the number of days left on your trip.

Example:

Your total trip length:
10 days
our total budget:
€1000
Number of days you've been on your trip so far:
6 (4 days left)
All the expenses up to today:
€800
What was left of your total trip budget at the start of today:
€200
Amount excluded from daily metrics:
€20
Your target average:
(€200 - €20) / 4 = €45
 

Note: By excluding entries from the daily metrics in the past entries, the target average not be affected - only by excluding future expenses the target average will be affected.

Tip: The entire topic of excluding expenses from the daily metrics can get quite tricky in some cases. We recommend reading this section to get a better understanding of it.
