Add it up, then divide by the guests. A hotel bill is the nightly rate x nights, plus the per-stay resort fee, plus the room tax. Split that total evenly, or by nights stayed when people were there for different lengths. The example numbers are set by this page.
Three things make up almost every hotel bill: the room charge (nightly rate × nights), a resort or facility fee charged per stay, and a room tax charged as a percentage of the room charge. Add them, then split the total.
| Component | Example (3 nights at $180/night) |
|---|---|
| Room charge: $180.00 × 3 | $540.00 |
| Resort fee (per stay) | $35.00 |
| Room tax (12% of room + fee) | $69.00 |
| Bill total | $644.00 |
The room tax is 12% of ($540.00 + $35.00) = $575.00 × 0.12 = $69.00. The resort fee is a flat per-stay charge the hotel adds; the tax rate is set by the city or county, not by the hotel. These are example values set by this page.
Divide the bill total by the number of guests. $644.00 / 4 = $161.00 each.
When guests were there for different numbers of nights, split the total by guest-nights - the nights each person stayed, added together.
| Person | Nights stayed | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Guest A | 4 | $281.87 |
| Guest B | 4 | $281.87 |
| Guest C | 2 | $140.93 |
| Guest D | 2 | $140.93 |
| Total | 12 guest-nights | $845.60 |
Example: a 4-night stay at $180.00/night = $720.00 room; $35.00 resort fee; 12% tax on $755.00 = $90.60; bill total $845.60. Guest A and B stayed 4 nights, C and D stayed 2 nights, so 12 guest-nights. $845.60 / 12 = $70.4667 per guest-night. A and B take 4 each ($281.87), C and D take 2 each ($140.93); the cents are rounded so the four shares sum to exactly $845.60. These are example values set by this page.
bill = nightly rate × nights + resort fee + (nightly rate × nights + resort fee) × tax rate.
Split evenly = bill / guests. Split by nights = bill / total guest-nights.
The example numbers above are set by this page. Your real nightly rate, resort fee and tax rate are printed on the hotel's own itemized receipt. The room tax rate is set by the city or county where the hotel is and varies by location - we do not quote a single figure, so enter the rate from your receipt. The resort fee amount is set by the hotel, not by law.
This page works out how to divide a hotel bill between guests using example numbers. It is not travel booking, does not pull any hotel's live rate, and does not quote any jurisdiction's tax rate.
