OTA Commission Loss Calculator
See exactly how much Booking.com & co. cost you per year
Find out what OTA commissions really cost your hotel — and how much you could save by shifting bookings to your own engine.
Every booking that comes through Booking.com, Expedia or Airbnb costs you 13–20% in commission. Most hoteliers know that, but few have ever sat down and put a number on it.
This calculator does it in 10 seconds. Enter your annual OTA revenue, the average commission rate, and the share you'd realistically be able to shift to direct bookings — get back the lost margin per year, the 5-year impact, and the savings you'd unlock.
Spoiler: even a 20% shift to direct typically pays for a hotel booking system in months.
How to Use
- 1 Pick your main OTA (or set a custom commission rate).
- 2 Enter the total annual revenue that comes through OTAs.
- 3 Estimate what % of that you'd realistically shift to direct bookings (start with 20%).
- 4 Read the savings — that's money currently leaving your business.
