How Much Does It Cost to Work Remotely in Europe in 2026?
Europe has an enormous cost spread for remote workers. Current 2026 research shows budget bases can sit near €800–€1,400 per month, while expensive cities can exceed €3,000 once coworking is included.
Low-cost Europe
The Balkans and parts of Central and Eastern Europe remain the strongest areas for sub-€1,500 remote-work budgets.
Expensive Europe
At the other end, recent research puts Dublin above €3,100 per month including coworking, illustrating why destination selection matters more than generic ‘Europe’ averages.
Planning rule
Build the budget from housing, food, transport, coworking, connectivity, insurance and travel separately. Do not rely on a single cost-of-living headline.
