Budget

• Currency: Ghanaian cedi 
• Tipping: be prepared to leave a tip when receiving a service in Ghana. It is correct to tip for service at a restaurant or a taxi driver for example, when you are in company of good service. Do not be overly generous as it may appear that you are flaunting money, but do leave enough to demonstrate appreciation.
• Meal Range: a basic lunchtime menu item in the business district can cost roughly 43 Ghanaian cedi. A combo meal in fast food will cost around 26 for reference. 
• Average hostel bed price: The average price for a hostel bed in Ghana is about $17 US dollars per night
