Frequently asked questions
Price per night × nights × rooms gives the room charges, then taxes and fees are added as a percentage. For ₹3,000 a night for 2 nights at 12% tax, the total is ₹6,720.
GST depends on the room tariff band and can change, so rates vary by hotel category and state. Always confirm the exact rate at the time of booking.
No. It covers room charges plus taxes only. Add meals, late check-out or resort fees separately, or fold them into your trip cost calculator.
Set the number of rooms and the per-night price is multiplied across all of them. For different room types, calculate each separately and add the totals.
The number on the booking page isn't the number at checkout
₹3,000 a night for 2 nights in 1 room looks like a ₹6,000 stay — until 12% tax adds another ₹720, bringing the actual total to ₹6,720. That gap between the advertised nightly rate and what you're actually charged is exactly what this calculator surfaces before you book, rather than at checkout.
How the total scales with rooms and nights
Book 2 rooms for the identical stay, and the base doubles to ₹12,000, with tax rising proportionally to ₹1,440 — a total of ₹13,440. The calculator scales linearly with both rooms and nights, so doubling either one doubles that portion of the bill directly, which makes it straightforward to price out a group booking or a longer stay by adjusting a single input.
Why the tax rate here is a planning figure, not a promise
Hotel taxes vary by property category and state, and Indian hotel GST specifically depends on the room tariff band — a distinction that's shifted over time. The 12% default is a reasonable planning figure, not a guaranteed rate for every property, so always verify the exact rate at the time of actual booking rather than trusting the default here for a final decision.
What this number is good for
Use it to compare hotels on a like-for-like, tax-inclusive basis rather than being misled by a lower headline nightly rate that turns out to sit in a higher tax band once fees are added, to split group costs fairly across rooms, and to feed an accurate accommodation figure into the broader trip cost calculator.
