To ask how much you spend on holidays per year?

£500 on a holiday cottage plus fuel and spending money. We have other calls on funds atm so its not a priority. We are also lucky to live in a holiday area and have a lovely quiet garden so no need to go away in the summer.

Most years circa £3000 for one adult and one teen in Europe. This year we are looking at £7000 on an AI in Greece. One off celebration of end of GCSEs, her birthday and my milestone birthday

Last "big" family holiday was in 2022 when dh and I, plus our 3 adult children plus their partners went to Croatia for 2 weeks. Flights, villa rental, car hire, petrol, restaurants, supermarket shops and activities came to £16k. I don't think we'll do that again, kids are now 20, 22 and 24 and doing their own thing.

We are second home owners (it's complicated, our second home used to be our only home and we intend to return to it in the next 7-8 years) and still paying down a small mortgage so when we're not breaking the bank holidays are there (it's in a very remote, rural area of Scotland). Dh and I have already been twice this year, dd2 and her partner will be there this week coming, ds and partner are going 2 weeks after that. We don't rent it out but do allow friends and family to stay. There's also a holiday cottage on the property that our neighbour now runs for us and the income covers our mortgage payments. Fully booked again already this year!

Biggest expense on those holidays is nicer than usual wine!!

Nothing the last few years, we’ve not been able to afford it. Possibly £1400 for a week in UK this year, but we have a lot to do to the house and I’m not sure if we’ll manage again. Maybe just £500 on a long weekend instead (2 adults/ 3DC)

Im single and childfree.
I dont have a lot of baggage to take only my back pack.
I dont do shopping sprees or buy souvenirs i enjoy the scenery take loads of pitchers.

I am not. Spending money will be a ridiculous amount and I try not to think about it 🤣

This year around £5k on four trips (just me), partner who’s coming on two of them £3.5k

city trip (one night with a flight and hotel)
4 night all inclusive greece
one week all inclusive turkey
one week all inclusive Abu Dhabi

No, because to be honest our holiday spending money isn’t all that different to what we’d spend at home in the school holidays (day trips, food etc).

We only go every few years as don’t have the money. Last year we had 2 weeks in a lovely villa which was about £4k all in. But can’t do it annually.

Friend of mine has an annual budget for holidays of £80k. I’m a bit jealous I mist admit, they just did New York business class on a whim.

I'd say 6-10k depending on years.

20k this year (usually 6-8k)

It varies year to year, we tend to have a 'big' holiday every couple of years then smaller in between. If I count spends, airport parking etc. this year will be about 5k but next year about 18k as DS has a school trip (which we're taking advantage of by having a city break) then we're going to Orlando to do all of the parks.
I'm hoping to go part time after next year though so enjoying it while we have the spare cash!

Around 10k-12k, two holidays a year and occasional weekend breaks. Just me and DH, no DC. But holiday cattery and dog daycare boarding is also part of that figure.

About 30k ( euro ) but our 'kids' are all older and there are 7 of us now .

Last year we went on a 'big' holiday and spent £6k for 10 days for 2 adults and one 1yo, we only had breakfast included in the hotel so ate lunch and dinner out each day (I'm not a fan of AI tbh)

The year before we went for a week in Europe half board with 2 adults and a 7month old and I think that was £2k or maybe a bit less

I don't think we're going away this year

Also- I don't count travel insurance and pet accommodation (although I ought) - pets are £20 a day (2 cats) and travel insurance is circa £500 total a year multi trip as I and one DS have chronic illnesses.

More than the average annual salary of someone in the UK!

We've got four weeks abroad spread across the year, and 5 long weekend breaks booked. It's looking to be an exciting year!

I dont count spending money because we tend to roughly spend the same as when at home - self catering and the odd bistro etc.

Are people counting spending money when there? I always think of the whole holiday costs.

£22k this year, 3 family holidays abroad: 7 days, 9 days, 8 days and a 5 day couple break,. Plus a school trip for the eldest for 10 days.

Not counting short UK breaks. Nothing fancy really. No long haul, all Europe.

£0. We stay with family in the UK.

My dc's have been away with school though.

About €20k per year—covers c. 8 weeks of holidays, a mixture of long haul, Europe and UK. Used to be around €10k 5 years ago for similar amount of travel.

We put aside £1,500 a month for holidays, Christmas & birthdays. How we split it varies and for bigger holidays we will save a bit one year and spend more the next. It’s an easy thing to spend a lot on.

£2700 for flights and 8 nights accommodation in New York (going for 12 but staying with a mate for part of it), just me going. I'll be taking £3000 spending money. Prices have risen dramatically since I was there a couple of years ago. This is my only holiday this year.

I can tell you exactly for the past 12 months.

1. Trip to Jersey May half term- 2 adults and 2 Dcs- 5 days- about £1200
2. Trip to Cyprus package holiday 11 days - £3100
3. Trip to Germany Easter 2024 5 days - £2100

This is about middle range- not on the cheap but also not expensive.

We would usually do one summer trip per year plus one half term trip but last year I worked 6 weeks serious overtime due to a colleague going off sick and was paid for it (which i had to argue about because my workplace tried to make me do it without extra) and so we did the extra Germany trip.
