Calculate Czech business travel reimbursements for 2026 — domestic and foreign per diems for multiple days, plus mileage allowance, fuel reimbursement and CNB exchange rate.
Foreign per diem rates are based on Decree No. 489/2025 Coll. for 2026. Domestic per diems reflect Decree No. 573/2025 Coll. (effective from 1 January 2026).
For a full explanation of the rules and worked examples, see: Czech Travel Expenses 2025 — full guide (the structure of rules remains the same for 2026, only rates change).
Custom rates are useful if your company or collective agreement sets higher domestic per diems than the statutory minimum. The statutory minimums will still apply as a legal floor for compliance purposes.
Add one block for each calendar day of the trip. Set whether the day is domestic or foreign, enter hours, free meals and (for foreign days) pocket money. The calculator will sum all daily amounts into one total and show a detailed breakdown.
This tool is built for HR teams, accountants and managers who regularly process Czech business travel reimbursements. It reflects the foreign per diem rates for 2026 under Decree No. 489/2025 Coll., domestic rates under Decree No. 573/2025 Coll., typical internal-policy reductions and the most common scenarios used by international companies operating in the Czech Republic. The main purpose of the calculator is to simplify multi-day domestic and foreign trips, reduce manual errors and provide clear guidance for employees who submit travel claims. For deeper context and worked examples, you can always refer to Czech Travel Expenses 2025 — full guide on CzechPayroll.com.
These answers summarise the most common questions HR and payroll teams have when using the calculator.
Add one block for every calendar day of the trip. Set the type (domestic or foreign), hours, free meals and (for foreign days) pocket money. The calculator will sum all daily amounts and show one total figure for the whole trip.
Use a separate day block for each calendar day and set the correct country for that day. If you cross borders within one day, split the allowance outside this tool (for example in Excel) and enter the resulting daily amounts into your internal records.
Foreign per diem must be converted to CZK using the CNB exchange rate valid on the first day of the business trip, or on the day the travel advance was paid. Commercial bank rates or averages are not suitable for statutory travel reimbursements.
For domestic days, you tick which meals were provided. The calculator applies statutory reductions for each free meal (70% / 35% / 25% per meal depending on the domestic time band). Your internal policy or collective agreement may set different reductions.
For foreign days, the calculator starts from the country-specific daily rate and applies statutory partial rates based on hours abroad (1/3, 2/3 or 100 %). If free meals are provided, it reduces the per diem according to Czech rules for foreign trips and then adds pocket money of up to 40 % of the foreign per diem, if entered.
For a detailed explanation of domestic and foreign per diems, meal reductions, foreign-country tables, mileage and examples, see Czech Travel Expenses 2025 — full guide on CzechPayroll.com. The 2026 rules follow the same structure, only the per diem rates have been updated.
