Accommodation Cost Calculator

Compare accommodation cost per night and per person across a stay.

About Accommodation Cost Calculator

The base cost is unit cost times quantity; the overhead percentage adds the contingency that real projects need, and the result is divided back out to give a fully loaded cost per night. Quoting the bare unit cost is how budgets get overrun — the loaded figure is the one to plan against.

Formula

Accommodation Cost

Total Accommodation Cost = Nightly rate × Nights × (1 + overhead %)

Nightly rate: Cost of a single night
Nights: How many are required

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 3 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 4 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
