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
- Ohio state sales tax and lodging definition. Ohio state sales tax is not silently added because the hotel definition and residential STR property class must be resolved for the individual listing.
- Mandatory fees and platform collection. Ohio local return and marketplace rules can change taxable gross receipts and who remits; this base uses room charge only.
- Source-backed scope note. Official Columbus and Franklin County sources provide the city 5.1%, county 4%, and Columbus additional .9% hotel layers. Ohio state sales tax is left as a property-definition factor.
Estimated tax is $45.00. Estimated guest total is $495.00.
