Why this is a range, not a quote
Every figure here comes from a price we researched, hedged and published in our own guides, and each line says which one. They were accurate as of July 2026 and they move: prices rise, the rupiah shifts, and what you actually spend depends on you. Treat this as a realistic band to plan against, not a bill. We would rather give you an honest range than a precise-looking number we made up.
Not included
- Flights, and any visa fee
- Accommodation, unless you entered it above
- Alcohol, spa treatments, surf lessons and shopping
- Day tours, private drivers and boat trips to the Nusa islands
- Travel insurance

Common questions
How much does a trip to Bali cost?
It depends almost entirely on accommodation and how you eat. Using our own published figures, food runs roughly IDR 75,000 to 150,000 a day on warungs and IDR 210,000 to 420,000 if you mostly eat in tourist restaurants, a scooter is IDR 60,000 to 100,000 a day, and most temple and waterfall entries are IDR 10,000 to 150,000. Accommodation sits on top and varies far too much for anyone to honestly average.
Is Bali expensive?
It can be either, in the same week. Eating at warungs, renting a scooter and visiting temples keeps daily costs low; beach clubs with minimum spends, tourist restaurants and private drivers raise them quickly. The gap between a modest day and an indulgent one is much bigger in Bali than the flight there.
How much money should I bring to Bali per day?
Our money guide suggests carrying roughly IDR 500,000 to 1,500,000 a day in cash depending on your plans, since warungs, small shops and drivers are often cash only. That is cash to carry rather than total spend: card-payable costs like accommodation usually sit outside it.
Why does this calculator ask me for accommodation?
Because we have not researched and published accommodation prices, and we are not going to invent them. Rates swing enormously by area, season and standard, so any single average would be misleading. You can check your dates on a booking site in under a minute, and then every number here is one somebody actually verified.
Do I have to pay a tourist tax in Bali?
Yes. There is a one-time Bali tourist levy of IDR 150,000 per person per entry, paid on the official Love Bali portal before or on arrival. This calculator adds it once per person automatically.
Are these prices up to date?
They were accurate as of July 2026, which is when we researched and published them, and each line tells you which of our guides it came from. Prices in Bali do rise, and several entry fees changed during 2026, so treat the output as a planning range rather than a current quote.
