Short-term accommodation in India is taxed in slabs set by the tariff per night. Enter your rate to see which slab applies and how a GST-inclusive price breaks down into taxable value, CGST and SGST.

Treating the tariff as GST-inclusive, which is how most Indian hosts quote a rate.
This is a slab calculator, not tax advice. Whether you must register and charge GST at all depends on your turnover and registration status, and platforms often collect and remit tax on bookings made through them. Confirm your own position with a CA before you file.
The slab is chosen from the declared tariff per night. Up to ₹1,000 a night is exempt, ₹1,001 to ₹7,500 attracts 12%, and above ₹7,500 attracts 18%. The boundaries are inclusive of their upper value, so a tariff of exactly ₹7,500 sits in the 12% band.
Because that is how most Indian hosts quote a rate — the guest is told one number and pays it. The calculator works backwards from that figure to the taxable value. If you quote GST-exclusive rates instead, the tax is simply your rate multiplied by the slab percentage.
That is a separate question from which slab applies. Registration turns on your aggregate annual turnover — commonly ₹20 lakh, or ₹10 lakh in special-category states — along with the nature of your supplies. Plenty of small hosts fall below the threshold entirely. This is one of several things worth confirming with a CA rather than a calculator.
For bookings made through an e-commerce operator, the platform is often the one liable to collect and remit tax on that supply. That changes what you owe, not what the tariff slab is. If most of your bookings come through an OTA and some come direct, the two streams may be treated differently — another reason to have an accountant look at the whole picture.
Accommodation is consumed where the property sits, so for a guest staying at your property the supply is intra-state and the tax splits evenly into central and state halves. The calculator shows that split, with the halves rounded so they still sum exactly to the total.
No. Slab rates and thresholds are tax policy and they move. The figures here reflect the structure the product uses, and the product notes the same caveat: confirm them with your CA before you file.
