Masterkey Hospitality launched a free online travel agency commission calculator that shows hotel owners what Booking.com, Expedia and other OTAs cost them each year, the company announced on November 13, 2026, according to PRLog. The Suwanee, Georgia-based firm also offers a monthly OTA audit and reconciliation service starting at $99 per hotel per month.
How the Masterkey Calculator Works
Owners enter their number of rooms, average daily rate, occupancy and the share of room revenue that comes through online travel agencies. The calculator then shows what they pay Booking.com, Expedia and other OTAs each year, and what moving a few points of business to direct and corporate accounts is worth. The tool needs no sign-up, and the numbers stay in the owner's browser.
"Most owners know their OTA bill is high, but few know the yearly number," said Vishal Thakkar, founder and CEO of Masterkey Hospitality. "The calculator takes one minute and shows where the money goes. From there, an owner can decide which nights to sell on the OTAs and where to build direct and corporate business instead."
The monthly audit and reconciliation service matches Booking.com and Expedia commission invoices to actual stays and disputes charges for no-shows, cancellations and wrong amounts. Masterkey describes its services as month-to-month with no setup fee, covering daily revenue and OTA management, corporate sales calls, review replies, OTA commission audits and hotel websites for franchise and independent hotels. The calculator is available at masterkeyusa.com.
Masterkey's Hotel Client Base
According to akta.pro company records, Masterkey scaled its client base to 170+ hotels across the United States in 2024, focused on economy, midscale and independent operators. The same records list platform integrations built in 2024 with Google, TripAdvisor, Booking.com and Expedia to support distribution and reputation operations across major demand channels. Masterkey also adopted a month-to-month commercial model with monthly billing in 2024 to lower barriers for smaller independent hotel operators.
The company's profile lists 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry and three dedicated teams for client support.
