Umrah cost calculator
Get a realistic estimate of what your Umrah may cost, with a breakdown of flights, hotels, visa and more. These are honest estimates, not quotes, and real prices vary.
What the calculator computes
It turns four choices into a per-person range and a total for your group. The range is not built up from live flight or hotel prices: it starts from a fixed planning band for your departure region and package tier, multiplies it by a season factor, then multiplies by the number of travellers. The line items underneath are fixed percentage shares of the midpoint, there to show where the money typically goes, not separate quotes.
Every input and what it means
| Input | Options | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Departing from | United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Other | Selects the currency and the band table. "Other" uses the US bands and shows US dollars, so it is only a rough guide outside those three markets. |
| Package tier | Economy, Standard, Premium | Picks the per-person band. Economy assumes shuttle-distance hotels and one-stop flights; Premium assumes walking-distance towers and better flight timing. The bands are per person before season. |
| Travellers | 1 to 20 | Multiplies the per-person range. It does not model room sharing: a quad room per person costs less than a double, and the tool cannot see that. |
| Season | Off-peak (Rajab / Sha'ban) ×1.0, Regular ×1.15, Ramadan ×1.5 | Scales the whole band. Ramadan at 1.5 reflects hotel and flight surcharges in the last ten nights especially; a quiet month is the baseline. |
How the figures are derived, and their limits
- The bands are planning ranges set for 2026 from package prices we observed for each market and tier. They are hard-coded in the tool and updated by hand, not pulled from any booking system.
- Totals are shown as low to high. The breakdown uses the midpoint, so the five line items always add up to the middle of the range, not to either end.
- Nothing is converted between currencies; each region has its own band table.
- Not modelled: room sharing, children's fares, the exact hotel distance, your departure city within the country, exchange-rate moves, and airline surcharges. Any of these can move a real quote by 10 to 30 percent either way.
- The tool is a sanity check for quotes, not a price you can book.
Worked example (illustrative)
Two travellers from the United States, Standard tier, Ramadan. The US Standard band is $2,500 to $3,500 per person. Ramadan multiplies it by 1.5, giving $3,750 to $5,250 per person, so the tool shows a total of $7,500 to $10,500 for both. The midpoint is $4,500 per person, which the breakdown splits as Flights (return) $1,890, Hotels (Makkah + Madinah) $1,530, Visa + Nusuk + insurance $405, Ground transport & ziyarat $405, Food & personal $270. If an operator quotes far below $3,750 per person for that tier in Ramadan, ask what has been left out.
Common mistakes
- Reading the total as a quote. It is the middle of a planning band; real packages sit anywhere in the range and sometimes outside it.
- Comparing the flight line to a flight search. The line is a percentage of the midpoint, not a fare.
- Choosing "Regular" for the last ten nights of Ramadan. That is peak; use the Ramadan setting.
- Multiplying by travellers and assuming double rooms. Ask operators for quad and triple pricing before deciding the group is unaffordable.
- Using "Other" as if it were your market. Bands differ a lot between, say, South Asia and the Gulf.
When to ask an operator instead
Once you know your dates, group size and preferred hotel zone, a quote beats any calculator: operators bundle group fares and contracted hotel rates the tool cannot see. Use the quote request and compare each quote line by line against the breakdown here. For the visa route for your passport, see the visa pages.
Questions pilgrims ask
Are the figures per person or for the group?
The big number is the total for the number of travellers you entered; the line items are per person, marked "pp".
Does it include the visa?
A visa, Nusuk and insurance share is inside the band (9 percent of the midpoint in the breakdown). The real fee is set by the Saudi government and shown on the portal when you apply.
Why does my quote differ?
Operators price by exact hotel, room type, departure city and booking date, none of which the tool asks for. A difference of 10 to 30 percent is normal; a difference of 50 percent needs an explanation.
Which currency is used?
The one matching your departure region: US dollars, Canadian dollars or pounds. "Other" shows US dollars.
