See the cost behind every booking.
Calculate one-year and three-year tour booking software TCO across direct, manual, OTA, and reseller sales. Separate the subscription, platform fees, payment processing, channel costs, and rollout expenses before you compare vendors.
The comparison rule
Use the fee terms in your current official source or written quote—not a vendor headline.
Quote-only vendor fields start blank by design. Blank inputs calculate as zero, so complete them before making a decision.
Editable assumptions
Calculate your tour software total cost of ownership
Enter annual figures in one currency. Nothing below is a preloaded vendor rate; use the exact fee rules that apply to each booking source in your quote, contract, or invoice.

How the math works
Compare like with like—not headline price with all-in cost
The calculator multiplies each channel's annual revenue by its percentage fees, adds fixed fees by booking or payment transaction volume, then adds recurring and one-time costs.
Map the booking mix
Separate direct, staff-entered, OTA, and reseller activity because the fee rules may differ.
Separate every fee
Keep software platform charges, payment processing, and distribution costs in distinct lines.
Include rollout cost
Add setup, migration, hardware, add-ons, and tax before evaluating year one or three years.
