Germany train ticket calculator

Prices last checked: 27 October 2026 · Adult, 2nd class · One traveller

Add your long-distance trains, your regional day trips and the days you will use city transport. The calculator prices the trip eight ways: saver tickets, Flexpreis tickets, a trial BahnCard 25 or 50, the Deutschland-Ticket on its own or with a trial BahnCard 25, and the German Rail Pass.

1. Your trip

First day Last day German Rail Pass price

I will buy the Deutschland-Ticket (and cancel it) by the 10th of the month my trip starts

You can buy it online before you arrive. If you buy it after the 10th, the earliest end date is the end of the following month, so you pay for two months.

2. ICE, IC and EC journeys

Day 1 is your first day. Pick one of our sampled fares or choose "My own fares" and type the saver price (Super Sparpreis or Sparpreis) and the Flexpreis that DB shows for your train.

3. Regional trains (RE, RB, S-Bahn)

A single ticket gets the BahnCard discount. A day ticket such as the Bayern-Ticket does not. The Deutschland-Ticket covers both, and the German Rail Pass covers DB-run regional trains.

4. City transport

Days on which you would otherwise buy a city day ticket. Only the Deutschland-Ticket covers U-Bahn, trams and buses.

How the calculator counts

Deutschland-Ticket: €63 for each calendar month up to December 2026 and €66.80 from January 2027. You pay the full month whatever day you buy it; a ticket bought mid-month starts when DB activates it. Cancel by the 10th and it ends that month; cancel later and it ends a month later. It does not cover ICE, IC or EC trains, so your saver fares are added.
Trial BahnCards: €19.90 (25) or €76.90 (50) for three months. The BahnCard 25 takes 25% off saver and Flexpreis fares. The BahnCard 50 takes 50% off Flexpreis and 25% off saver fares. On regional single tickets we apply 25% or 50%, which is what DB's planner showed for Munich–Füssen. Day tickets are not discounted.
German Rail Pass Flexi: the smallest pass with enough travel days (3, 4, 5, 7, 10 or 15). Every day with a train journey uses a travel day, and all days must fall within one month. City transport is added on top.
Not counted: seat reservations (optional in Germany, from €5.50), City-Ticket add-ons, and the fact that saver fares tie you to one train. Fares rise as trains fill, so our samples are a guide, not a quote.

The reasoning behind each option is in Is the Deutschland-Ticket worth it for tourists?, Trial BahnCard 25 for tourists and Deutschland-Ticket vs German Rail Pass.
