Assumptions used

  • Common short-stay boundary: The displayed estimate is limited to 1–29 nights and does not allocate longer-stay exemptions or first-N-night rules.
  • Deterministic state or common base: The estimate uses the room-charge input only; added-charge classification remains a visible limitation or factor.

What may change the final amount

  • Kentucky transient and Louisville Metro layers remain visible factors. Kentucky’s 6% sales tax is the displayed deterministic base. The official Kentucky transient-room source adds a 1% state transient tax, Louisville Metro Code §121.01 contains an 8.5% local transient stack, and the Kentucky filing example shows passed-through transient taxes can enter the sales-tax base. These tax-on-tax and property-class conditions are not merged into the simple base estimate.
