Hotel True Nightly Rate Calculator

Sticker price isn’t the price you actually pay. The Hotel True Nightly Rate Calculator rolls up nightly taxes, resort fees, parking, one-time charges, discounts, and the value of points earned so you can compare offers that look similar but cost different amounts. Because you supply your own figures, there’s no dependency on live feeds or rate APIs—just transparent math that works for any property or brand.

Start with nights and how many people will share costs. For Offer A, enter the nightly base rate, local tax percentage, any per-night resort fees and parking, and one-time fees such as cleaning or service charges. If you earn loyalty points, add your estimated earn as a percentage of base (for example, 10% back in points on a promo) and your personal point value. You can fill Offer B the same way to compare two hotels, a refundable vs. non-refundable rate, or member vs. public pricing.

• Taxes: applied on the discounted base (if a discount is entered), then added per night.
• Fees: resort and parking are multiplied by nights; one-time fees are added once.
• Points value: base × earn% = points, then points × value reduces effective cost.

The results show total trip cost, effective nightly rate, and per-person split. A compact key-value block breaks out each component so you can sanity-check assumptions. When you compare two offers, the calculator flags the cheaper effective nightly rate and shows the difference over the stay—small nightly gaps add up over multiple nights, especially once taxes and fees are layered on.

Use this when a property advertises a low base but adds a heavy daily fee, when member discounts apply only to the base, or when your points earn makes an otherwise similar rate more attractive. If you treat points as a rebate, not cash, keep the value conservative so the effective price stays realistic. To share with a friend or trip partner, hit Share to copy a permalink with your inputs.
