How do couples finance their romantic getaways?
The traditional model of one partner paying is fading, giving way to more equitable strategies. Financial planning for a “baecation” now largely involves three main approaches.
The simplest method is the Equal Split, where all costs—including flights, accommodation, and activities—are divided straight down the middle, 50/50.
This is valued for its clear simplicity and perceived fairness.
A second model, increasingly popular, is the Income-Based Split. Here, costs are divided proportionally to each partner’s salary. This approach aims to ensure the holiday budget is manageable for both, regardless of income disparity.
A third option is the Traditional/Hybrid approach, where one partner (often the man) covers major expenses, such as hotels and flights, while the other handles daily costs and activities.
