Assumptions used
- Common short-stay boundary: The displayed estimate is limited to 1–29 nights; the city form’s over-30-day refund line is not applied.
- Current Memphis return lines: The city percentage and fixed room-night assessment are taken from the 2026 official city return; the timely-payment credit is not subtracted from the displayed gross estimate.
What may change the final amount
- Shelby County, Tennessee local sales tax, and booking/channel conditions remain visible factors. The calculator now includes the official-source-backed Memphis 4% city percentage and $2 per occupied room/night assessment shown on the 2026 city return. The 5% Shelby County local occupancy layer, Tennessee local-option sales tax, special-zone/credit handling, and collection responsibility remain separate factors.
