New York's regime is flat — tiers price identically.
Tourist tax total (5 nights)
$120.00
Source: TripCalc dataset · indicative — updated May 2026 · Methodology
Regime: the famous NYC hotel-room stack — NYC room occupancy tax 5.875% + NY State sales tax 4% + 0.375% MCTD (14.75% combined) + $3.50 flat nightly fees — collected on the folio.
Basis: charged per room per night. Stays over 180 days convert to residential treatment and drop most NYC hotel taxes.
Planning note: on a $300 Manhattan room, expect roughly $50/night of combined tax — the sticker-shock capital of American hotel taxes. The dated official schedule with sources is tabulated on this page.

Work from $24 a night per room for New York: nights × rate (× category where applicable) is the whole formula, and the widget above runs it for your dates. Family of 4, 5 nights = $120.00 — the same as a solo traveler, because New York taxes the room rather than the guests. Context: #1 of 49 tracked city regimes by nightly tourist tax, charged per room at a flat rate — stays over 180 days convert to residential treatment and drop most NYC hotel taxes.
New York charges $24.00 a night: the regime explained
No category multiplier applies — the $24.00 nightly figure holds from hostel to five-star, which quietly favors luxury stays, under the famous NYC hotel-room stack — NYC room occupancy tax 5.875% + NY State sales tax 4% + 0.375% MCTD (14.75% combined) + $3.50 flat nightly fees — collected on the folio. The per room basis matters for planning: guest count is irrelevant in New York — one occupant and four pay identically.
Exemptions first: stays over 180 days convert to residential treatment and drop most NYC hotel taxes. On a $300 Manhattan room, expect roughly $50/night of combined tax — the sticker-shock capital of American hotel taxes.

| 10 | $240.00 | $240.00 |
| 14 | $336.00 | $336.00 |
Per-room basis: one guest or four, the total is identical — and the flat regime means the luxury column matches mid tier.

Multiply before you worry: $24.00 a night sounds small until the nights accumulate — five nights is $120.00, and fourteen is $336.00 — which is why the stay-length table below exists.

Where New York ranks among 49 tracked tourist taxes
Rank check: #1 of 49 tracked city regimes by nightly tourist tax, which is among the heaviest regimes we track, closer to Amsterdam's percentage stack than to Asia's token nightly fees. Whatever the level, expect it to climb — the decade's pattern is annual review and annual increase, and New York is not exempt from that pressure.
Paying it: the New York folio, fine print and exemptions
Collection always runs through the accommodation in New York: itemized at check-out, remitted by the property. Two habits save arguments in New York — screenshot the regime's rules when you book (they change yearly now) and verify whether your platform's "taxes and fees" figure already contains the $24.00 levy.
Calculation Formula
New York total = nights × $24.00 (flat regime — tiers price identically) (per room)How to Use This Calculator
- Set nights (1–30) for your New York stay.
- Select budget, mid, upscale or luxury tier.
- Read the nightly rate and the stay total.
- Add it to your trip budget — collected at the hotel, not at booking (usually).
Worked Examples
- A 3-night mid-tier stay: 3 × $24.00 = $72.00 per room.
- A week at mid-tier: 7 × $24.00 = $168.00 per room.
- The same week: the flat regime means luxury and budget pay identically at $168.00.
