  • SDF only: excludes visa processing, hotels, guides, transport and bank fees.
  • No quota-dependent concessions or border-town waivers applied. Indian rates require valid qualifying Indian identification.
  • Verified planning window ends 31 August 2027. Later extension reports have not been verified here against a government notice; do not infer that a higher rate automatically follows.

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 Department of Tourism lists nightly SDF of USD100 from age 12, USD50 for ages 6–11, and zero below 6. Indian nationals with qualifying ID pay INR1,200, INR600 and zero respectively.

Family fee = sum(each visitor’s nightly SDF × nights)

Only whole ages and nights are accepted; totals require no rounding. Mixed categories need separate runs. The verified concession window is 1 September 2023–31 August 2027. This tool does not verify reported later extensions or project a replacement rate.

Worked examples

International family, five nights

Ages 35, 34, 8 and 4 cost (100 + 100 + 50 + 0) × 5 = USD1,250.

Indian family, three nights

Ages 40, 12, 6 and 5 cost (1,200 + 1,200 + 600 + 0) × 3 = INR9,000.

Frequently asked questions

Does a 12-year-old get a child discount?
No. The reduced child rate ends on the twelfth birthday. A six-year-old enters the discounted band.
Does this include the visa fee?
No. This is SDF only, excluding visa processing, lodging, guides and transport.
Can I use a quota or border-town concession?
Day trips and border-town concessions are outside this calculator, which requires at least one night. Zero nights does not establish exemption: SDF applies beyond designated border zones. Check the official Department of Tourism FAQ linked below.
What if ages change during the trip?
Calculate the affected nights separately using the applicable ages and confirm treatment with the Department of Tourism.
Can I budget beyond August 2027?
Not with this verified window. The original official announcement gives that horizon; later extension reports need government confirmation before this tool adopts them.
