The Stay Ledger

Occupancy Tax Calculator

Companion to our US occupancy tax guide. Enter a booking, stack your local tax rates, and tick the layers your platform already collects and remits for you. What is left is the tax you must collect from guests and file yourself.

Your platform already collects & remits:

Booking subtotal
Total occupancy tax charged to the guest
Platform collects & remits
You must remit per booking
You must remit per month
You must remit per year
Guest pays in total (subtotal + all tax)

Default rates (6% + 3% + 3%) are an example stack — replace them with your own state, county and city rates, and check your listing's Taxes settings for what your platform actually collects; coverage differs by address and platform and changes over time. Whether tax applies to rent only or rent + fees also varies by jurisdiction. General information, not tax advice.
