Probably 15% of our pre-tax income.
Oh gosh, I don't know...we save over the course of more than one year for bigger trips, so it doesn't really amount to the percentage of just one year's take home pay, kwim? Plus we use gift money, and yard sale/Craigslist/eBay money, etc., too. So figuring out the math would be way more math than I want to do .
I get not wanting to take the time to figure it out but in my view the answer is a simple equation if you have the totals. All you need is your income and the total spent on travel. It doesn’t really matter how long you took to save it or where the dollars came from as that is money that could have been used for other things if not spent on travel.
The only deduction that I would count is things that are free. For instance, our trip to Vegas over NYE was around 2K for 3 nights. Airfare wasn’t included because we flew free with points so no income used.
