Montreal collects roughly $3.50 per night per room at mid-tier — so the room, not the party, sets the bill — and the calculator above totals your exact stay. Family of 4, 5 nights = $17.50 — the same as a solo traveler, because Montreal taxes the room rather than the guests. It ranks #25 of 49 tracked city regimes by nightly tourist tax, and the rate is flat across categories — collected by the hotel at check-out.
Montreal charges $3.50 a night: the regime explained
The regime in plain terms: Quebec's lodging tax — 3.5% of the accommodation price, plus 5% GST and 9.975% QST. Basis: charged per room per night, meaning guest count is irrelevant in Montreal — one occupant and four pay identically. No category multiplier applies — the $3.50 nightly figure holds from hostel to five-star, which quietly favors luxury stays.
Stays of 31+ days are exempt from the Quebec lodging tax. Worth knowing before you price the week: Quebec's lodging tax (3.5%) plus GST+QST makes Montreal's stack about 18% on the room rate — the calculator above applies this regime's own logic rather than a generic nightly rate.
What the Montreal tax costs across your stay
| Nights | Stay total (any guest count) | Luxury tier total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $3.50 | $3.50 |
| 3 | $10.50 | $10.50 |
| 5 | $17.50 | $17.50 |
| 7 | $24.50 | $24.50 |
| 10 | $35.00 | $35.00 |
| 14 | $49.00 | $49.00 |
Per-room basis: one guest or four, the total is identical — and the flat regime means the luxury column matches mid tier.

Linearity is the one kind thing about this tax: every extra night in Montreal adds exactly $3.50 — so a weekend costs $10.50 and the full week $24.50, before any category multiplier.
Where Montreal ranks among 49 tracked tourist taxes
At $3.50 nightly per room, Montreal sits at #25 of 49 tracked city regimes by nightly tourist tax — mid-pack globally: more than Asia's token fees, well under the percentage-stacks of American cities. The direction of travel matters as much as the level for Montreal: a dozen major cities introduced or raised lodging taxes between 2023 and 2025, so re-check before every trip.
Paying it: the Montreal folio, fine print and exemptions
Expect the $3.50 nightly rate to appear on the folio as its own named line at check-out — the property collects, the city receives, and no third party belongs in the transaction. Stays of 31+ days are exempt from the Quebec lodging tax.
