What is the hotel occupancy tax rate in Oklahoma City?

The combined hotel occupancy tax in Oklahoma City is about 15.5%. It stacks Oklahoma state and city sales tax with the city's dedicated lodging tax that applies to short-term hotel stays.

What taxes make up the Oklahoma City hotel tax?

The total combines the Oklahoma state sales tax (4.5%), the Oklahoma City and county sales tax (about 4.5%), and the city lodging (hotel) tax (around 5.5%), which together reach roughly 15.5%.

Is hotel tax charged per night or per stay?

It is applied to the room charge for each night, so the total tax scales with both the nightly rate and the number of nights. The tool multiplies per-night tax by your length of stay.

Do the taxes apply to resort or destination fees?

Mandatory fees that are part of the room charge are generally taxable. If your hotel adds such a fee, include it in the nightly rate so the tax is computed on the full taxable amount.

Does this cover short-term rentals like Airbnb?

Short-term rentals in Oklahoma City are generally subject to the same sales and lodging taxes. The combined rate gives a close estimate, though platform service fees are billed separately.

This calculator shows what an Oklahoma City hotel room really costs once occupancy taxes are added. The advertised rate is only the base — Oklahoma state and city sales tax plus the city lodging tax push the effective rate to about 15.5%.

How it works

The combined occupancy tax is applied to the taxable room charge per night, then multiplied across the length of stay:

combined_rate = 0.155   (state + city/county sales tax + lodging tax)
tax_per_night = nightly_rate * combined_rate
total_tax     = tax_per_night * nights
grand_total   = nightly_rate * nights + total_tax

Example

A $110 room for 4 nights carries 110 * 0.155 ≈ $17.05 tax per night, about $68.20 of tax total, for a grand total near 440 + 68.20 = $508.20.

Notes

The 15.5% figure is the effective combined rate for Oklahoma City lodging and is an estimate. Exact components vary slightly by property and district, and mandatory resort fees should be folded into the nightly rate. Confirm the line items on your folio.
