How to Use the City Tourist Tax Calculator
Many popular international destinations — Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Osaka, and more — charge a tourist tax (city tax) on top of your room rate. It's usually not shown in your booking total and is instead collected in cash or by card at check-in, which makes it an easy expense to forget when budgeting for a trip. This calculator takes the per-person, per-night rate along with your group size and number of nights to instantly total up how much extra cash you should have on hand.
Rates vary by city and by hotel category — a budget hostel and a five-star hotel in the same city often charge different amounts, with higher-end properties usually charging more. Check your booking confirmation email or the property's listing page for the exact rate before you enter it here.
If your itinerary covers multiple cities, run this calculator separately for each one since rates differ by destination, then add up the totals to plan your cash or currency exchange needs for the whole trip. This is especially useful on longer multi-city trips where small nightly fees can add up more than expected.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most cities collect it separately from your booking, in cash or by card at the front desk during check-in. It's often not included in the price shown on booking sites, so check the rate for your destination city before you travel.
It depends on the city. Children under roughly 12 to 18 are often exempt, but the age cutoff varies, so adjust the number of paying travelers based on the current rules for your specific destination to get an accurate total.
