How to interpret your OTA net payout
This calculator estimates what you keep from an OTA booking after commission and taxes. Use it to compare your “true” cost of distribution across channels and to validate whether a direct booking campaign is actually cheaper than paying commission.
Enter your typical room rate, add common extras (breakfast, parking, upsells), then set the commission you pay on that channel. If you use multiple OTA tiers, run a scenario for each (standard vs preferred) to see the profit difference.
Common mistakes
- Mixing gross and net taxes: decide whether your tax input is included in the rate or added on top, then keep it consistent.
- Ignoring payment costs on direct: direct bookings usually have gateway fees and marketing CAC—include them for a fair comparison.
- Comparing one booking to one click: marketing costs should be averaged over a month (or campaign) to avoid cherry-picking.
What to do with the result
If direct net profit is higher, focus on improving conversion rate and repeatability: faster site, clear offers, and a clean booking path. If OTA is still “cheaper,” you can target specific dates (high demand / compression) for direct-only perks while keeping OTAs for base occupancy.
