Assumptions used
- Room-charge base: The displayed estimate applies the listed rates to nightly room charges only. Mandatory fees, if taxable in the jurisdiction, are called out separately as factors rather than silently included.
What may change the final amount
- Cook County hotel tax. Cook County adds a separate hotel-tax layer, but its applicability and current rate must be resolved for the property and transaction type before inclusion.
- Mandatory fees and gross-charge bases. Illinois guidance describes gross charges and mandatory fee treatment; this baseline applies effective rates to room charge only.
- Source-backed scope note. Illinois DOR’s official table states the component taxable bases; effective rates are shown against the room-charge input and the base differences remain disclosed for filing reconciliation.
Estimated tax is $49.91. Estimated guest total is $499.91.
