  • 2026 overnight accommodation and taxable charges, at one VAT rate. Split mixed-rate items before calculating. Resident exemption requires registration at an Amsterdam municipal address, not RNI.
  • The hotel preset is 21% from 1 January 2026. Use the custom option when another VAT treatment applies.
  • A difference is a reconciliation prompt, not proof of an incorrect bill. Check the tax base and invoice rounding.

This is a general estimate for information only, not tax, legal or financial advice. Real rules have more conditions than a calculator can show, so check the official source below or a qualified professional for your situation.

How it works

The city rule is 12.5% of the overnight accommodation price excluding VAT. This calculator uses that verified rate for 2026 only. Let B be accommodation before both taxes, v your VAT rate as a decimal, and Q your quote.

Net quote: B = Q VAT-inclusive quote: B = Q ÷ (1 + v) Quote including both taxes: B = Q ÷ (1 + v + 0.125) Tourist tax = B × 0.125 Total = B × (1 + v + 0.125)

These inverse formulas assume one VAT rate and separately calculated VAT and tourist tax on B. Include intermediary charges; Wi-Fi and extra cleaning can also form part of taxable turnover. Separately itemized breakfast is excluded. Ask the provider which additional services qualify, and split mixed VAT rates before calculating. See the filing instructions. Guests registered at an Amsterdam municipal address are exempt; RNI registration does not qualify. Select the resident option for an entirely exempt stay (the tourist-tax rate in the formulas becomes zero). For mixed parties enter only the amount attributable to non-exempt guests, as confirmed by the provider. A blank VAT rate is accepted only for a net quote, where no VAT-inclusive total is shown. Rounding: calculations retain precision; displayed euro amounts round to two decimals. Invoice rounding can differ.

Worked examples

A €600 net accommodation quote

€600 × 12.5% = €75 tourist tax. If the bill lists €80, the billed tax is €5 above this estimate. VAT is not needed for this calculation.

Reverse a quote containing both taxes

With the 2026 hotel VAT preset of 21%, a €801 inclusive quote gives €801 ÷ 1.335 = €600 accommodation base and €75 tourist tax. VAT is €126.

Taxable charges versus breakfast

€600 net lodging plus €50 net intermediary charges gives €650 × 12.5% = €81.25. If the €50 is instead separately itemized breakfast, enter €600: tourist tax is €75.

Frequently asked questions

Should I multiply a VAT-inclusive room price by 12.5%?
First remove VAT using the rate on your quote. Applying the tourist-tax percentage directly to a VAT-inclusive price overstates the base.
Is the tax per person or per room?
This overnight calculation is a percentage of the accommodation price. Enter the combined price for all rooms and nights; do not multiply it again by the number of guests.
What if my booking already includes tourist tax?
Select the option including both taxes. The result separates the quoted amount; it is not an additional charge to add again.
Which VAT rate should I enter?
The tax authority sets 21% for ordinary hotel/short-stay lodging from 1 January 2026. Select the preset or choose a custom rate for other accommodation. Separate mixed-rate bills first.
Can I use it for 2027 or a cruise day visit?
No. This page only models overnight accommodation in 2026. Check the municipality for other years or the separate cruise day-tax rules.
