Booking Deposit Calculator
Compare a fixed booking deposit with a percentage of the reservation. See the group total, each guest’s share and the amount still due on arrival.
Deposit comparison
All amounts apply to one booking. Split payments are rounded to the nearest cent.
Work out what guests pay now and on arrival
Use the price of the whole reservation, including everyone in the group. Choose the deposit type you advertise. A fixed group deposit collects the same amount up front across different booking totals. A percentage scales with the value of each reservation. Divide by the guest count to estimate an equal share. For a private tour with a minimum group charge, start with the actual quoted total. Dividing the advertised per-person price across the guests can understate what is due when the minimum applies.

How do I model a fixed deposit per guest?
Multiply the per-guest amount by the number attending, then enter that sum as the fixed group deposit. For six guests paying $15 up front each, enter a $90 deposit.
Is an advance booking deposit the same as a refundable security deposit?
An advance payment reduces the price still due for a service. A refundable security deposit on rental equipment is held separately. Use the rental quote generator if your customer needs both figures on one document.
How do I calculate a 30% booking deposit?
Multiply the booking total by 0.30. For a $250 appointment that gives $75 due now and $175 remaining. Enter 30 in the percentage field to compare it with a fixed deposit.
What happens when the deposit cannot split evenly between guests?
The split distributes the remaining cents across the group. A $10 deposit shared by three people is two payments of $3.33 and one of $3.34.
How can I compare deposits for small and large groups?
Run the same percentage and fixed amount against two different booking totals. A $50 fixed deposit covers half of a $100 booking and one tenth of a $500 booking.
Does the calculator collect payment or update my checkout?
It gives you figures you can copy into a quote or booking confirmation. Configure the chosen payment amount and collection schedule in your booking or checkout setup.
