Pope Leo XIV's trip to Spain from June 6 to 12, 2026, cost 29,318,389 euros, according to an economic report presented at the Spanish Episcopal Conference headquarters. The expenses, which covered goods, services, security, and supplies, were funded by the dioceses of Madrid, Barcelona, Tenerife, and Canarias.

The report, which included findings from the consultancy EY, noted that the six-day visit included 21 events and drew 2.31 million attendees across Madrid, Barcelona, Gran Canaria, and Tenerife. The trip generated 3,080 full-time jobs and had a total economic impact of 139.48 million euros in gross value added.

Organizers met their goal of avoiding debt or deficits during the visit. According to Vida Nueva, this expenditure was 20 million euros less than the cost of the World Youth Day held by Pope Benedict XVI.
