Resort Package Cost Comparison Calculator
Compare two resort packages side-by-side to determine the true total cost per person per night, including all fees, meals, and activities.
Package A
Package B
Formulas Used
Base Room Cost = Room Rate per Night × Number of Nights
Meal Plan Cost = Meal Rate per Person per Night × Guests × Nights
Resort Fee Total = Resort Fee per Night × Number of Nights
Subtotal = Base Room Cost + Meal Plan Cost + Activities + Resort Fee Total
Discount Amount = Subtotal × (Discount% ÷ 100)
After Discount = Subtotal − Discount Amount
Tax Amount = After Discount × (Tax% ÷ 100)
Total Cost = After Discount + Tax Amount
Cost per Person = Total Cost ÷ Number of Guests
Cost per Person per Night = Total Cost ÷ (Guests × Nights)
