Travel budget and holiday expenses

A good travel budget covers transport, accommodation, food, experiences and unexpected expenses. Daily vacation costs vary greatly depending on destination. In Southern Europe, you should budget 500-1,000 DKK per person per day, while destinations like the USA or Japan can cost 1,000-2,000 DKK daily.

Currency conversion and exchange rates

When travelling outside Denmark, it is important to know the exchange rate. The Danish krone (DKK) is pegged to the euro, so the rate is stable at approximately 7.46 DKK per EUR. For other currencies, rates can fluctuate significantly. Use our calculator to convert amounts between currencies at current rates.

Travel cards and commuter prices

The Rejsekort is the most widely used payment card for public transport in Denmark. The price depends on the number of zones and the time of day. A commuter pass can pay off if you travel daily. Use our calculator to compare prices for travel cards, commuter passes and single tickets.

Tax-free travel allowance

If your employer sends you on a trip, you can receive tax-free travel allowance (per diem) for meals and accommodation. Rates are set by the Danish Tax Agency and depend on whether the trip is within or outside Denmark. Use our calculator to determine your allowance.
