To ask how much you spend on your holiday?

Myself and DD £31k income
We tend to do city breaks as we live near a lovely sandy beach.
Last year: 3 nights at local Haven down the road for DD birthday with three friends ~£400
This year we've had / have booked:
2 X 3 night UK city breaks ~£1000
UK Geology family field trip on Jurassic Coast 7 days £1000

Household income £110,000 and about 6k on main holiday and one weekend away. Family of 5 though so nothing too exotic.

I’m surprised by the amount people spend compared to income. We love travel but need to save for a car too. I feel we should have more spare money than we do.

Household income is around 200k but we don't spend much as a proportion on holidays. Last year we had one abroad and one uk holiday. Total was probably around 6.5k for all of us by the time we had paid for spending money.

This year we will have two abroad holidays. Total will be more like 10k I would imagine.

Household net income is a bit over £4k a month, about £50k a year. We're 2 adults, 3dc.

This year we have:

• Feb HT in Scotland, about £700
• Greece in Aug, AI for 10 days - £6300
• Me and dh only, 3 days in Spain AI - £1k.

Add on a bit of spending money and it's probably about £9-£10k, so 18-20% of net income.

Household income circa £110k spend around £25k a year on holidays so approximately 25%. Wouldn’t have it any other way

Between £10k and £20k, we are retired so income only about £50k, it comes out of separate savings which we put aside for this

Oh and we bring in £60k between us but are saving as much as we can.

Household income around £110k we now spend around £10k on holidays and weekend breaks a year.
This has recently increased from about £3k as we've been overpaying the mortgage and only have a few years left on that and pensions are healthy (DH 55 already receives his occupational pension) before he 'retired' it was many years of camping holidays

Weve had a week camping at Easter for £80, Butlin’s in term time for £300, camping in summer hols for a week for £300. Will likely get a couple of weekend camping trips in as well at local sites for £50 or so.
We like cheap and cheerful. Plus it’s what we can afford. Means we get to go away and spend time with each other and the wider family a good few times out of the year.

9K (9%) this year big long haul holiday and 2 small breaks and around 4K other years of just a week and a couple of small breaks. Based on take home pay. This includes spending money too.
This seems quite small compared to others. We do travel independently and book all our own flights hotels etc, whether that makes a difference I'm not sure?

Joint take home around £170k
Approx £6k £7k on a holiday and a few weekends away.

Our household income is a little under £100k and we spent about £4,000 last year.

This year we will spend about £6,000k on our main holiday, I've spent about £300 on a mini break and we'll likely spend another £500 on a U.K. break.

Household income is around d £130k
We are spending around £22k on 5 holidays.

I have no idea what OH earns

We go away 6-9 times per year, long and short haul
Some are cheapies e.g 5 nites in Tenerife
Others will be a week all inclusive in 5* carribean

About 5% this year, last year was over 20% though had saved for ages for that.

how do you live?

Joint income approx £70k

Usually about £2-3k

Florida once that was a lot more.

Household take home about 80k and I’d say we spend about 10-12k ish on holidays/ breaks away throughout the year. It varies as sometimes we may do a more expensive long haul, other times we travel for a more extended period over summer. We’re up north and have a small mortgage compared to most (I assume given the average) and we can both work remotely/flexibly so it’s much easier even with a child to go away at less peak times.

Blimey I feel very miserly. We earn £75k between us and spend about £2/2.5k on a week in UK in summer and then a long weekend at center parcs out of season.

I don't really feel like I have spare £ floating round for much more even with a pretty small mortgage

I’m always amazed by the amount some people spend on holidays. One of my friends (childfree) goes on about 7-8 trips a year, lots of them just short breaks but she really splashes out, think hotels that cost £800 a night, business class flights etc. She is a high earner but I reckon her annual travel budget must come to at least £20k.

In contrast we have one sunny abroad holiday a year (always Europe, usually around £3k for a week not including spending money), usually one short city break (this year Paris, total cost around £1k inc spends) and then we’re very lucky to have family in Cornwall so we usually go and stay with them once a year with no accommodation cost. Total - about £5k maybe? Which is about 5% of gross income.

Joint net income £50k,

family holiday once a year - budget around £1100pp (4 of us)
centre parcs once or twice - £1200 total
weekend away each with friends - £1000 each

we prioritise holidays and experiences over overpaying our mortgage and saving too much. After 2 of DH friends passed away in the last 18 months we’ve decided that life’s too short to have it sat in a bank account.

About 10%. We are high earners.

I can’t be bothered to add it up, and I don’t actually know how much DH spends on trips by himself or just with DS.

The point for us is that it’s what we choose to spend our money on. We don’t have a car or spend a lot on clothes, we live in a reasonably priced area.

i take it no children and neither of you are ones for saving or putting money in your pension or overpaying your mortgage (if you have one?)

Wow, I'm intrigued how you manage on this budget & get all those hols. Sounds bliss & we earn more but are struggling for 1 hol. Do you mind me asking, are your living costs extremely low for some reason? We're not extravagant by any means.
