Eh? We don’t. We make a contribution:
All competing countries pay a participation fee to the EBU, totaling roughly €6.2 million. These fees are scaled based on the size and reach of the country, with the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom) paying the most.
Host Broadcaster: The national broadcaster of the winning country from the previous year is responsible for producing the event. They shoulder the largest portion of the production bill, typically ranging between €10 million and €20 million.
Host City: The city selected to host the contest contributes millions, either financially or through "in-kind" services like security, city branding, and venue preparations.
