About this tool
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 it
- 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.
What you get
- Instant numbers — No spreadsheet, no formulas. Type your revenue, see your loss.
- 5-year impact — See the long-term commission burden, not just one year.
- Action-ready — Compare what you save with even a small shift to direct bookings.
