Just create the labels, buttons and textfields like the example.
Check the API for what you need to use.

When the radio buttons are clicked get the value of the text field like the example.
Look the API of the JRadioButton and see what Listener to use. Use the getSource() method of the argument of the method the listener has to get which button was clicked.
Now that you know that just do multiplication to find the amount in euros and display it.
Like the example
