Paris's lodging tax works out to about $6.40 per night per person at the mid tier — the calculator converts that into a stay total for any trip length. A family of four prices 5 nights of Paris tax at $128.00 mid-tier — four heads, four nightly charges, before category multipliers. Context: #11 of 49 tracked city regimes by nightly tourist tax, charged per person with category multipliers — children under 18 are exempt from the Paris taxe de séjour.
Paris charges $6.40 a night: the regime explained
Category multipliers of 0.8× (budget) to 1.5× (luxury) mirror how the regime actually prices rooms, so a $6.40 mid-tier rate becomes $9.60 at five-star, under the taxe de séjour, a star-banded per-person nightly tax that jumped roughly 200% in 2024 and is indexed to inflation each 1 January. The per person basis matters for planning: a family of four in Paris pays four times the nightly rate.
Exemptions first: children under 18 are exempt from the Paris taxe de séjour. Worth knowing before you price the week: the 2026 indexed tariff tops out at €15.93 per night in palace hotels — the four-tier jump caught many return visitors by surprise — the calculator above applies this regime's own logic rather than a generic nightly rate.

Compounded over a stay, the tax stops being a rounding error: seven nights at $6.40 per person is $44.80 per person, and 1.5× in a luxury property takes it to $67.20.

Where Paris ranks among 49 tracked tourist taxes
At $6.40 nightly per person, Paris sits at #11 of 49 tracked city regimes by nightly tourist tax — premium territory — Amsterdam, Kyoto's top bands and New York's stacked folio fees are the company it keeps. The direction of travel matters as much as the level for Paris: a dozen major cities introduced or raised lodging taxes between 2023 and 2025, so re-check before every trip.
Paying it: the Paris folio, fine print and exemptions
Nothing about this tax is paid in advance or at a desk: it rides the room bill, the hotel forwards it, and your only job is checking that the folio's tax line matches the $6.40 nightly expectation this calculator prices before you book.
