Your trip, day by day
So what will it all cost?
In the US, shelf and menu prices are before tax: Michigan's 6% sales tax gets added at the register, and restaurants expect a tip on top. Here it all adds up, line by line.

Where do the numbers come from?
Tax rates come from official Michigan and county rules, exchange rates from the European Central Bank's daily reference rates, and ticket prices from the organizers' own listings. The total is an estimate for planning, not an invoice.
