About this tool
Split a Singapore trip into flights, room, the 10% service charge and 9% GST, food, transport and attractions.
This planner breaks a Singapore trip into flights, room, food, transport, attractions, shopping and a contingency buffer, then reports the cost per person and per person per day. Singapore charges no per-night tourist tax, but it does have the "++": a quoted hotel or restaurant price is before a 10% service charge and before GST, and GST is charged on the service-inclusive amount, so the multiplier is 1.10 x 1.09 = 1.199 at the current 9% rate. The tool applies that stack correctly, handles nett prices in reverse, and shows the GST sitting inside a shopping figure that a visitor can reclaim on departure.

Reports the tax inside a GST-inclusive shopping figure and whether it clears the refund threshold.
It means the price shown is before a 10% service charge and before GST. The service charge is added first, then GST is calculated on the service-inclusive amount, so at the current 9% GST rate a ++ price ends up 1.199 times the number you were shown — a S$100 menu price becomes S$119.90. A price marked "nett" already includes both.
9%. It rose from 8% to 9% on 1 January 2024, having gone from 7% to 8% a year earlier. Retail prices in shops must be displayed GST-inclusive, so the shelf price is what you pay; it is hotels and full-service restaurants that quote before tax and add it at the bill.
No per-night tourist or city tax of the kind Paris and Dubai charge. What a hotel adds is the 10% service charge and 9% GST on the room rate — there is no flat per-room or per-person nightly levy on top of that.
Yes, on goods taken out of the country, under the electronic Tourist Refund Scheme, above a minimum spend of S$100. The refund is processed at the airport before departure and the refund agent deducts a handling fee, so the amount received is less than the full 9% sitting inside the price. Services such as hotel stays and restaurant meals are not refundable.
