Planned costs from the trip
Stays and activities already on the board can contribute a planned amount, so the budget is not invented in a blank spreadsheet.
Costs
Keep group trip costs next to the plan
Awaii turns stays and activities into planned costs, then lets the group log expenses with currency conversion. The total sits with the trip instead of in a sheet nobody opens until the end.
Costs are part of the trip, not a chore that waits until you get home.
From estimated stay to logged dinner
This page is about the product. If you want the reasoning — estimate first, lock in later — read travel budgeting before you book.
What a group expense tool should do
Logged expenses
When someone pays for dinner, tickets, or a taxi, the expense can sit on the same trip as the plan.
Currency conversion
Trips often spend in more than one currency. Conversion keeps the picture readable for the whole group.
Costs are easier when they follow the ideas
Most groups only discover the real total after the stay is chosen and the dinners are booked. A better moment is earlier: while the places and stays are still options, and while the itinerary can still change.
Awaii keeps planned costs and expenses next to those decisions. If the stay is too high, the group can compare another neighborhood. If dinners are adding up, a looser day is still allowed. The cost conversation stays part of planning together, not a surprise at the end.

Group expenses FAQ
What are planned costs in Awaii?
Planned costs come from stays and activities already on the trip, so the group can see the likely total before everything is booked.
Can Awaii convert currencies on expenses?
Yes. Logged expenses can use currency conversion, which helps when the trip spans more than one currency.
Should costs live in a spreadsheet instead?
A spreadsheet can work for a final split. Awaii is for seeing costs while ideas, stays, and the itinerary are still taking shape.
How is this different from the budgeting guide?
The budgeting guide explains how to estimate before you book. This page is about the product: planned costs and expenses next to the shared plan.
