#### Formula

Room Subtotal = Nightly Rate × Nights Resort Subtotal = Resort Fee × Nights Parking Subtotal = Parking Fee × Nights Sales Tax = (Room + Resort + Parking Subtotals) × (4% GA State + Local Option %) Hotel-Motel Excise Tax = Room Subtotal × Excise Rate Convention & Tourism Tax = Room Subtotal × 1% (City of Atlanta only) GA State Flat Fee = $5.00 × Nights Grand Total = Room + Resort + Parking + Sales Tax + Excise Tax + Convention Tax + GA Flat Fee
