Tourist tax calculator
Pick where you're going and where you'll stay, then the nights, who's travelling and the room price. The calculator applies that place's own rules.
An estimate from the published rules. Your hotel or host works out the exact amount (on the price before or after discounts, for example), so small differences are normal. The calculator runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent to us.
What it takes into account
Each place charges in one of five ways, and the calculator follows whichever applies. Flat rates multiply by the guests who pay and the nights; percentages multiply by the room price, so children make no difference; per-room charges ignore the number of guests; price bands look at the room price per person; visit fees are charged per day or once. Caps on nights, cheaper later nights and children's ages are all applied.

12 places
A flat amount per person per night
The usual European way. Hotels pay more for each extra star, and children are often free.
-
11 places
A percentage of the room price
Scotland, the Netherlands and the US do this. The dearer the room, the more you pay, however many share it.
-
5 places
A flat amount per room per night
The same charge whether one person or four share the room.
-
3 places
Price bands per person
A flat amount per guest that steps up with what the room costs each of you. Japan's cities use it.
-
6 places
A fee per visit
Paid once per trip or per day visited, often online before you go, rather than to a hotel.
