To convert euros to Norwegian kroner, multiply by the EUR/NOK rate. At an example rate of 11.7, €100 is about 1,170 NOK, and 1,000 NOK is about €85. The calculator loads the latest ECB reference rate and converts in both directions.
How do you convert EUR to NOK?
EUR/NOK shows how many kroner one euro buys. Multiply euros by that number: €250 × 11.7 = 2,925 NOK. In reverse, divide: 2,925 ÷ 11.7 = €250. The krone floats freely, unlike the Danish krone, so the rate changes every day with oil prices, interest rates and risk sentiment. The calculator preloads an example rate and replaces it with the latest ECB value when it can reach the feed.
Why is the krone more volatile?
Norway’s economy depends heavily on oil and gas exports, and the krone tends to weaken when energy prices drop or global investors become nervous. Over the past decade EUR/NOK has moved in a band from about 8.5 to over 12, which is a large range. Anyone planning a trip, a move or a payment to Norway might want to check the rate on the day rather than rely on an old figure.
Working or travelling in Norway
- Dutch residents who take a short assignment in Norway should convert the NOK salary and compare with the Netherlands salary calculator. Norway is not in the EU but is in the EEA, with different tax and social security rules.
- Prices in Norway are high, so converting restaurant and fuel costs into euros gives a quick sense of a holiday budget.
- Dutch online buyers from Norwegian webshops pay Dutch import VAT in many cases. See the VAT calculator.
Cutting conversion costs
Norway is largely cashless, and card payments are everywhere. Use a card that charges no foreign-transaction fee and pay in kroner. Avoid exchange kiosks at airports, which may add over 5%. For larger transfers, compare the rate you are offered with the mid-market rate above.

What does Norway actually cost?
Norway is expensive, even for the Dutch. At an example rate of 11.7, a lunch of 200 NOK is about €17, a litre of petrol around 20 NOK is about €1.70 and a bus ticket in Oslo of roughly 40 NOK is €3.40. Alcohol is heavily taxed and sold through the state-run Vinmonopolet shops, so a bottle of wine at 200 NOK costs about €17. Those conversions show why a one-week trip to Norway needs a larger budget than the same week in Spain or Portugal.
Many Norwegian prices include 25% VAT (mva), reduced to 15% for food and 12% for transport and accommodation. If you are a tourist, you can reclaim part of the VAT on large purchases when leaving the country through Norway’s tax-free shopping scheme, a process similar to the VAT refund when leaving the EU from the Netherlands.
