Assumptions used
- Modeled lodging scope: Incorporated Raleigh city limits in Wake County; modeled components are the current 7.25% Wake accommodation sales/use total and separate 6% Raleigh-Wake room-occupancy tax.
What may change the final amount
- Owner-occupied private-residence exemption. North Carolina exempts a private residence, cottage, or similar accommodation rented by its owner for fewer than 15 days in a calendar year, but the exemption does not apply to rentals by an accommodation facilitator. This calculator does not collect owner/facilitator status, so the amount may be lower for qualifying stays. This factor is excluded from the displayed estimate and may decrease the result; verify it with the cited official source before filing.
Estimated tax is $59.63. Estimated guest total is $509.63.
