Airbnb Occupancy / Tourist Tax Calculator
Cities charge tourist or occupancy tax in different ways: a percentage of the stay, an amount per guest per night, or a flat amount per night. Fill in the rule that applies to you (leave others at 0) to see the tax for one stay.
How the calculation works
Percentage tax = (rate × nights + cleaning) × %. Per-person tax = amount × guests × nights. Flat tax = amount × nights. VAT included in a gross price = price × VAT ÷ (1 + VAT).
Worked example
A 3-night stay for 2 guests with a €3 per person per night tax: 3 × 2 × €3 = €18. With a 12.5% percentage tax instead on €420: €52.50.

FAQ
Does Airbnb collect occupancy tax for me?
In many cities Airbnb collects and remits some taxes automatically, but not everywhere and not always all taxes. Check Airbnb's tax collection page for your location and your local authority's rules.
Is the cleaning fee taxed?
Often yes for percentage-based taxes, but rules differ by city. Check your local regulations.
Is this tax advice?
No. Use it to estimate; confirm rates and exemptions (children, long stays) with your municipality or a tax adviser.
