How this is calculated
A US baseline of 90, 210 and 450 USD a day for the three tiers is multiplied by the price level of The Netherlands (0.8438363774247047, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.05, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 0.88496895841236 EUR to the dollar, rounded to two significant digits.
These are modeled estimates, not quoted prices. Read the full formula on the methodology page.

Where the money goes
At the budget level of $80 a day, spending is concentrated on shared lodging, cheap eats, and public transit rather than restaurants or paid attractions. The mid-range tier of $185 a day allows for a private hotel room, sit-down restaurant meals, and occasional paid sightseeing, while the luxury tier of $400 a day covers upgraded lodging, full-service dining, and more frequent use of taxis or guided activities. Over a full week these differences add up to $560, $1,295, and $2,800 respectively across the three tiers.
January, November, and December are the cheapest months to visit, since they fall outside the peak summer season and typically see lower demand for lodging. Travelers aiming to stay closer to the budget tier have the best chance of doing so during these off-season months. All figures listed here are estimates meant to guide planning rather than fixed prices.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jan, Nov and Dec.
