# How the rate comparison figure is calculated

The rate comparison widget typically shows a savings message near the price, for example a "You Are Saving" line with supporting text such as "No Platform Fees. Lower Cost. Same Stay."

**How the figure is calculated.** The comparison figure is derived arithmetically from your direct rate. No request is made to any OTA.

**Accuracy.** How accurate the comparison is depends on how well the markup percentages you configure reflect reality for your market.
