## 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

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.
