Travel & time

Travel planning helpers: currency conversion with a rate you enter, trip duration from distance and average speed, jet-lag recovery day estimates across zones, per-person trip budgets, and group expense splits. Does not book travel or pull live exchange rates — enter the numbers you have from your bank or booking site for a quick budget check.

Because we do not pull live rates, the currency tool is only as good as the number you type — and the mid-market rate you see quoted online is rarely what you receive. Card networks, banks, and bureaux each add a spread, and dynamic currency conversion at a foreign terminal, where you are offered the choice to pay in your home currency, is usually the worst option available. Check a recent statement for the effective rate you actually got, then use that. Drive-time estimates assume a constant average speed and no stops, so add time for fuel, meals, traffic, and border crossings. Jet-lag recovery estimates are broad averages: eastward travel is typically harder to adjust to than westward.
