How hotel nights are counted

Hotels charge by the night, not by the day. A stay from Friday to Monday is three nights (Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights), even though it touches four calendar dates. This calculator counts the nights between your check-in and check-out dates and works out the room cost, GST and grand total so you know what to expect before you book.

Nights = Check-out date − Check-in date | Total = Rate × Nights × Rooms + GST

GST on hotel rooms in India

From 22 September 2025, GST on hotel rooms depends on the tariff per room per night:

Up to ₹7,500: 5% GST
Above ₹7,500: 18% GST

When you stay in the same state where the hotel bills you, GST is shown as CGST and SGST in equal halves. When billed inter-state, it is shown as IGST. For example, 2 rooms for 3 nights at ₹4,000 cost ₹24,000 plus 5% GST of ₹1,200, a total of ₹25,200. At ₹9,000 a night the rate is 18%.

Tips before you book

Check-in and check-out times: most Indian hotels check in at 12 noon to 2 pm and check out at 10 am to 12 noon. An early check-in before the standard time can be charged as an extra night.
Weekend rates: Friday and Saturday nights are often priced higher in leisure destinations. The calculator shows how many weekend nights your stay includes.
Ask what the rate includes: breakfast, taxes, extra bed and airport pick-up can change the final bill.
Compare channels: some hotels offer better value for direct bookings through their website or WhatsApp.

Travelling with friends?

Once you have the total, divide it fairly, including who ordered extras, with the hotel cost split calculator. Hotel owners can check exact invoice tax with the hotel GST calculator.

Frequently asked questions

How many nights is a stay from Friday to Sunday?

Two nights: Friday night and Saturday night. Nights are counted as the number of dates between check-in and check-out, not the number of days you are at the hotel.

What GST will I pay on a hotel room?

Room tariffs up to ₹7,500 per room per night attract 5% GST and tariffs above ₹7,500 attract 18%. The hotel's final bill decides the exact amount.

Does the total include food?

No. This calculator covers room charges and GST on rooms only. Meals, room service, extra beds and other services are billed separately.
