The Prime Minister is expected to agree that the £107bn budget will increase by at least 2.9 per cent in 2011, despite previous British demands that it should not rise at all.
The UK's contribution could grow by more than £400 million, despite swingeing cuts across Whitehall.
But Mr Cameron has embarked on a diplomatic offensive by telephone to try to keep the rise to a minimum - and well below the 5.9 per cent demanded by MEPs.
His conversations with German chancellor Angela Merkel, French president Nicolas Sarkozy and European Council president Herman Van Rompuy came as he prepared to attend an EU summit in Brussels.
While the budget is not on the formal agenda, it will dominate conversations on the sidelines and in meetings between government heads and officials.
Mr Cameron, who will be attending his first EU summit as Prime Minister, has been calling for a freeze in the budget at a time when many countries, including the UK, are cutting spending.
