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

  • Room-tax and sales-tax bases. Wisconsin room tax and sales tax can have different taxable-base rules; this baseline applies the listed rates to room charge only.
  • Local registration and remittance. Local room-tax registration, filing, and marketplace responsibilities are not modeled in the amount.
  • Source-backed scope note. Wisconsin DOR official sources provide the 5% state, .5% Dane County, and 10% Madison room-tax layers; room tax is treated separately from sales-tax compounding per the lodging publication.
