Train Trip Cost Calculator (PKP)

The calculator multiplies the distance in km by the base rate of PLN 0.14/km, then by the wagon class factor and the selected discount factor to produce an indicative one-way fare.

1st class tickets cost 50% more than 2nd class. The class factor is 1.5 for 1st class and 1.0 for 2nd class.

The calculator covers: no discount (full price), under-26 discount (51% off), student discount (49% off), senior discount (51% off), and family discount (33% off).

No. PKP prices depend on train type, seat availability, day of travel and promotions. The calculator provides an estimate based on an averaged per-km rate.

The calculator automatically doubles the one-way fare and displays it as the total cost for a return journey.

Cost per km is the one-way fare divided by the distance. It lets you compare the value of different routes and transport modes, for example train versus car or bus.

The calculator works for distances from 10 to 1000 km, covering both short regional trips and long-distance intercity journeys.

No. The under-26 discount gives 51% off based solely on age. The student discount gives 49% off and requires a valid university student card. Both require proof of entitlement during ticket inspection.

No. The calculator uses standard published rates. For promotional offers such as SuperPromo or weekend tickets, check the PKP Intercity website directly.

Yes. Compare the cost per km from this calculator with your estimated car cost per km (fuel + depreciation). Train travel is often cheaper per km on longer routes.
