Only the Germany leg is paid: from the Luxembourg border onwards, train, tram and bus are free.
Basis: 4 days at the office per week, 44 working weeks a year, return trip to Luxembourg City, 6 L/100 km at β¬1.55/L. Change those assumptions in the calculator.
Groceries, energy, insurance and tax are set nationally, not by the commune: comparing them town by town would be false precision. This page sticks to the two lines the address genuinely controls.
