How this is calculated

  • Starting value. €220.2bn as of 21 August 2026, the European Commission's official figure. The counter starts there and adds elapsed time at the selected scenario's rate.
  • Base scenario. The total rose from €193bn (31 Dec 2025) to €220.2bn. The two starting figures come from different publications and are not fully comparable in method.
  • Loans are included. The largest single item is loans, not grants. They burden budgets only insofar as they default or are not covered by proceeds from immobilised Russian assets.
  • Refugee costs do not go to Ukraine. The €17bn is spending that occurs inside the member states themselves.
  • Constant rate. Money actually arrives in tranches. The counter smooths this into an even flow — it illustrates pace, it does not book transactions.
