How Calculation Works | HostManageGo Docs

When a guest requests a quote or books a stay that qualifies for a long-stay discount, the system calculates the total and shows how much they save. This article explains the calculation with a simple example.

Steps in the Calculation

Base price × nights – The property’s base price per night is multiplied by the number of nights. For example: 80 euros per night × 10 nights = 800 euros (accommodation subtotal before discount).
Apply discount – The long-stay discount percentage is applied to that subtotal. For example: 10% off 800 = 80 euros discount; 800 − 80 = 720 euros (accommodation after discount).
Cleaning fee – The cleaning fee (if any) is added. It is usually not discounted. Example: 30 euros → total so far 720 + 30 = 750 euros.
Tax – If the app supports tax, it may be calculated on the discounted accommodation (or on accommodation + cleaning). Example: 6% on 750 = 45 euros → total 795 euros. Exact rules depend on the product.
Total – The guest sees the total (e.g. 795 euros) and often a line like "You save X" (e.g. "You save 80 euros") so the discount is clear.

Exact formulas (e.g. whether tax is on discounted or full amount) may vary. The important point: the discount percentage applies to the accommodation (base × nights); cleaning and tax are typically added after.

Example Summary

Base: 80 €/night × 10 nights = 800 €
Discount 10%: 80 € off → 720 €
Cleaning: 30 € → 750 €
Tax (if any): applied to 750 € → total 795 €
You save: 80 € (shown to the guest)

Where You See It

Quote – When the guest selects dates on the public booking page (or when you create a reservation), the quote shows the breakdown: accommodation, discount, cleaning, tax, total, and "You save X".
Reservation – When you create or view a reservation that qualifies for a long-stay discount, the same logic applies: the total and the discount amount are stored and shown in the reservation details.

See Where Discount Appears for how this is shown on the public page and in the booking flow.
