Travel currency monitor — September 2026: JPY, SEK and NOK

Three constant budgets, one common set of dates

We reuse the published JPY 150,000, SEK 10,000 and NOK 10,000 scenarios. These are separate illustrative amounts still to be paid, not equivalent holidays or measured travel prices. Spending is held constant; fees, paid bookings, reserves and inflation are excluded.

What the comparison covers

24 common complete UTC dates out of 30 calendar dates (2026-09-01 to 2026-09-30); 6 dates are missing or incomplete. First retained date: 2026-09-01. Last retained date: 2026-09-30. Longest interval between retained dates: 3 calendar days.

Positive change means the same native-currency amount cost more in the selected home currency at the last retained observation than at the first. Negative change means it cost less. The comparison measures the currency effect on each fixed amount; it does not rank the affordability of Japan, Sweden or Norway.

Percentage changes allow the movement of different fixed amounts to be compared. A larger absolute cost does not mean a more expensive destination. First-to-last change is distinct from the sampled low-to-high range.

Source captures and checksums

The original source checksum identifies the complete privately retained capture, not the smaller public JSON. The second checksum identifies the exact public file used for this comparison. The source endpoint can now contain newer data; reproduce this report from the unchanged JSON downloads.
