Hotel GST calculator: the rate on a room, and on the restaurant bill

Enter what you charge for a room per night and see the GST rate, the CGST and SGST split and the bill total. It also tells you whether your restaurant bills at 5% or 18%.

Rules as of November 2026
The value charged for that night after any discount, not the rack rate.

Room GST: 5% without input tax credit

Room charges (2 × ₹6,500)₹13,000
CGST 2.5% + SGST 2.5% on rooms₹650
Food and beverage₹1,200
GST on food at 5%₹60
Bill total₹14,910

Up to ₹7,500 a night (₹7,500 itself included) the room is taxed at 5%, and you cannot claim input tax credit. The test is per room, per night: a room sold at ₹7,200 one night and ₹8,000 the next falls in different bands.

How the rate is decided

  • Up to ₹7,500 a night: 5% GST, without input tax credit.
  • Above ₹7,500 a night: 18% GST, with input tax credit.
  • The test is the value you charge for that room for that night, not the rack rate. Each room and each night is tested on its own.
  • The old 12% slab for rooms ended on 22 September 2025.
  • Restaurants: 5% without input tax credit, except a restaurant in "specified premises" (a hotel where any room is charged above ₹7,500 a night), which bills at 18% with input tax credit.
