Included room hours
Included room hours come from a monthly pool that is consumed chronologically. Beyond it the room's price applies, less the plan's discount.
What a room booking costs comes from two places. The room has a Price per hour. The member's plan decides the pool of included hours and, under Discount on the room price (%), the discount for everything beyond it; 100 % means rooms are free. The calculation happens in one place on the server, so the preview before booking shows the same amount the invoice states later.
Two models for the pool:
| Model | The month's pool |
|---|---|
| Monthly pool | a fixed number of hours from the plan |
| Hours per check-in day | hours from the plan times days with a desk reservation, pooled across the month |
What follows from that:
- The pool is consumed chronologically. The earliest booking of the month eats into it first. That is why it does not depend on the order things get invoiced in which booking was inside the allowance.
- Once the pool is empty, every further hour costs the room's price, less the discount. At €24 per hour and a 50 % discount that is €12. If the room has no price, the booking costs nothing. There is no fallback to a preset price.
- An hour is an hour, whichever room it is in. An hour in the seminar room uses up the pool just like an hour in the phone booth.
- Extras do not count. They use up no included hours, and the discount does not apply to them. An extra costs everyone the same price.
- The plan without a contract has no discount. Members without a contract pay the same room price as day guests.
- The preview shows the extra cost of exactly this booking. It calculates the difference between "all bookings with this one" and "all bookings without it", so the number is correct wherever in the month the booking sits.
- A date in a series costs what a single booking on that day costs. The series preview shows the total at today's plan and the cost per month.
- Prices are gross prices. The tax rate comes from your space, not from the plan. See Gross price.
- Room costs land on the usage invoice, not on the membership invoice, one line per room and price, for example "Room booking Seeblick · 3 h at €24.00". See Three documents per month.
Included room hours and included desk days are two separate allowances. A desk day only counts when there is a desk reservation on that day.
