#### Formula

Subtotal = Room Rate × Nights × Rooms

Percentage Taxes = Subtotal × (6.00% + 4.50% + 1.00% + 1.00% + 1.00% + 1.25% + 2.50%) = Subtotal × 17.25%

Airport hotels add 6.00%; McCormick Place area hotels add 2.50%

Flat Fee = $4.50 × Rooms × Nights

Total Tax = Percentage Taxes + Flat Fee

Grand Total = Subtotal + Total Tax

Effective Tax Rate = (Total Tax ÷ Subtotal) × 100
