RevPAR Calculator.
The hospitality-industry trio. Three inputs, three numbers: occupancy, ADR, RevPAR.
Use a consistent period — typically 30 days for monthly, 365 for annual. Revenue is gross, before fees.
RevPAR = ADR × Occupancy. It collapses both metrics into one comparable number, so a 50%-occupancy luxury listing and a 90%-occupancy budget listing become directly comparable.
How it works
This is the hospitality-industry trio of metrics: Occupancy, ADR (average daily rate), and RevPAR (revenue per available room/night). One short calculator, three numbers, no spreadsheet.
The math:
- Occupancy =
nights booked ÷ nights available - ADR =
revenue ÷ nights booked - RevPAR =
revenue ÷ nights available(or equivalentlyADR × occupancy)
RevPAR is the punchline. Occupancy alone is misleading — a 90% occupancy at $80/night is worse than a 60% occupancy at $200/night, and RevPAR makes that obvious in a single number ($72 vs. $120).
How to use this calculator
- Choose a period — typically 30 days (monthly) or 365 days (annual). Stay consistent across the inputs.
- Enter nights available — total nights you offered the property. If you blocked 5 days for personal use in a 30-day month, available is 25.
- Enter nights booked — actual booked nights in that period.
- Enter revenue — gross revenue (before fees and taxes), in the same period.
- Read the three metrics — occupancy as a percentage, ADR as currency, RevPAR as currency.
To compare your performance to last year or to a comp set, run the calculator twice and compare the RevPAR numbers directly.
Frequently asked questions
Should revenue be gross or net? Use gross for ADR and RevPAR — that’s the industry convention. Subtracting fees first gives you “Net ADR” or “Net RevPAR,” which are useful internally but don’t compare cleanly to AirDNA, Mashvisor, or hotel-industry benchmarks.
What counts as “available”? Nights you actively listed and were willing to accept bookings. If you blocked nights for owner-use, maintenance, or seasonal closure, those are NOT available — you’d only be lowering your own occupancy by counting them.
Why does RevPAR matter more than occupancy? Occupancy is a vanity metric. A property at 95% occupancy at $50/night is making less revenue per available night than a property at 50% occupancy at $200/night. RevPAR exposes that. It’s also the metric professionals use when comparing properties across markets, segments, and price tiers.
Does this work for a multi-unit portfolio? Yes. For a 5-unit portfolio over 30 days, nights available = 5 × 30 = 150. Sum revenue across units. The result is the portfolio’s blended RevPAR — useful for owner reporting.
How do I improve RevPAR? Two levers: raise ADR (without tanking occupancy) or raise occupancy (without tanking ADR). The trick is to find the price point where ADR × occupancy is maximized. Most hosts under-price; some over-price. The break-even calculator shows the floor; the profit calculator helps you optimize.
