Budget & Prep Kit · Iceland
Your Iceland budget, costed in 20 minutes
A spreadsheet that already knows Icelandic prices, a checklist that forgets neither the swimsuit nor the crampons, a day-by-day itinerary template with its weather plan-B column: the three tools that turn “around €4,000?” into a precise budget.
The kit's labels are currently in French — figures and formulas are universal. English edition coming.

1.The ISK/EUR budget spreadsheet
Twelve realistic lines (flights, campervan with GP + SAAP insurance, fuel calculated per kilometre, camping and indoor nights, food, site parking — the line nobody anticipates —, glacier hike, pools, one lagoon, contingency). Live formulas in the Excel version: change “2 travellers, 11 days” to “4 travellers, 15 days” and everything recalculates, in both currencies.
2.The Iceland-specific gear checklist
Eight categories, from paperwork to photography, with the properly Icelandic traps: the 3-layer system even in August, the swimsuit everyone forgets, the midnight-sun sleep mask, the PIN-code card for automatic pumps, winter crampons. Tickable, printable.
3.The day-by-day itinerary template
15 rows ready to fill in with the columns that matter: departure and arrival stop, kilometres, driving time, accommodation, price, booked or not, activities — plus a “weather plan B” column, because in Iceland the weather is in charge. Three worked example rows to start on the right foot.

Readers' questions
How does the budget spreadsheet work?
You enter three parameters — number of travellers, number of days, EUR/ISK rate — and the twelve lines recalculate: flights, campervan and insurance, fuel per kilometre, campsites and guesthouses, food, site parking, activities, contingency. Each line shows its total in Icelandic krónur and in euros, with the final cost per person.
What formats do the files come in?
The spreadsheet comes in two versions: Excel (.xlsx, with live formulas — works in Excel, LibreOffice, Numbers, Google Sheets) and a pre-calculated CSV for anything else. The checklist and the itinerary template come as Markdown and CSV, readable and printable everywhere. Note: the kit's labels are currently in French — the figures and formulas are universal.
Are the pre-filled prices realistic?
Yes: every line uses the 2026 ranges documented in our Iceland guide (fuel ~330 ISK/litre, campervan with full insurance ~€145/day in summer, camping ~€20/person, major-site parking 750-1,000 ISK, glacier hike €100-140). You then adjust them with your own quotes — that's what it's built for.
Is the kit included in the complete Iceland Bundle?
Yes. The €59 Iceland Bundle includes the “Iceland on your own” guide (€44) and this kit (€29) — a €14 saving. If you're hesitating, take the Bundle: the guide explains the trade-offs, the kit puts numbers on them.
