About the OTA Commission Savings Calculator for Indian Hotels

Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) such as MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, Booking.com, and Agoda give Indian hotels massive distribution reach — but their commission fees, typically 15% to 22% per booking, take a heavy bite out of already-thin margins. This calculator isolates your third-party channel mix to show exactly how much ₹ is lost each month and year to acquisition fees, and what's recoverable by building a stronger direct booking channel.

A note on India's OTA landscape: MakeMyTrip and Goibibo operate under the same parent company and together dominate domestic leisure and business travel bookings in India, commonly commanding the largest share of an independent hotel's OTA revenue. International players like Booking.com and Agoda are typically stronger for inbound foreign travelers. Adjust the channel table above to reflect your actual booking mix and negotiated commission slabs.
