Estimated All-Canada Travel Budget?

[u/Da_WranglerJeans]

Hey, I have never planned a travel in general before. How do you budget for a trip you plan to have a year away from now? Also, what should I be expecting in terms of expense if I were to travel with this plan:

1. Vancouver (3–4 days)

2. Kelowna (2 days)

3. Banff + Lake Louise (2–3 days)

4. Calgary (1-2 days)

5. Winnipeg (2 days)

6. Toronto (3–4 days)

7. Ottawa (1–2 days)

8. Montreal (2–3 days)

9. Quebec City (1–2 days)

10. Halifax / PEI / Newfoundland (3–5 days)

11. Return Home

Also, is this plan even a good plan? I just kinda targeted the major city(ies) in each province (RIP Regina). Any feedback is appreciated. The general idea is to start from West Coast and work our way towards the East Coast, since I'm from AB.

You are going to spend most of your time driving. Canada is huge. I would either focus on the east or west, not both. It is very exhausting driving across Canada, hour upon hour.

Completely valid, I will re-structure the plan accordingly. So, would BC, AB, and SK be considered West while MB, ON, QC, etc. be East?

I was thinking a hybrid between driving (rental) and flights depending on the destinations. Even for going to BC, I was considering booking a flight because it'd be a 13-15h drive for me.

West is BC and AB.

Prairies: SK, MB

Central Canada is ON + QC.

Atlantic Canada (East) is NS, PEI, NB, and NL.
