Frequently asked questions
Should I use a separate account?
Yes — a named high-yield savings pot keeps travel money out of day-to-day spending and earns interest while you wait.
What if the trip cost changes?
Re-run the calculator with the new figure; the monthly amount adjusts immediately and you can spread any increase across the remaining months.
