How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter your Base Price - this is the standard price for your product or service during non-weekend hours.
  2. Set the Weekend Multiplier - this determines how much more expensive weekend rates will be. For example, entering 1.5 means weekend rates are 50% higher than the base price.
  3. Specify the Tax Rate applicable to your area (if different from standard).
  4. Enter the Quantity if you're calculating for multiple units.
  5. Click the Calculate button to see the results.

Principle Explained

This calculator works based on the following formulas:

  • Weekend Price = Base Price × Weekend Multiplier
  • Subtotal = Weekend Price × Quantity
  • Tax = Subtotal × Tax Rate
  • Total = Subtotal + Tax

Example Scenario

Suppose a hotel room has a base price of $100 per night:

  • If weekend rates are 50% higher (multiplier 1.5), the weekend price would be $150.
  • For a 2-night stay (quantity 2), the subtotal would be $300.
  • With an 8.25% tax rate, the tax would be $24.75.
  • The total would be $324.75 for the weekend stay.

Applications

This calculator can be used for:

  • Accommodation pricing (hotels, rentals)
  • Salon or spa services
  • Event venue rentals
  • Any business that charges different rates on weekends
