Direct Booking Loss Calculator
Calculate what a tourism business gives away to OTA commission, and separate the fixed taxe de sejour that should be collected or set aside. Use detailed stay numbers, or reverse-calculate from a platform invoice payout.
Commission loss
Shows platform commission from property price, stay length, invoice payout, or booking volume.
Tax clarity
Taxe de sejour is treated as a fixed amount per stay. Default: EUR 4 per stay, not per night and not per guest.
Honest calculator: it does not connect to Booking.com, Airbnb, Google Analytics, or bank data. It uses only the numbers you enter and explains every assumption.
