Formula used

RevPAR = ADR × Occupancy

Equivalent: RevPAR = Room Revenue ÷ Rooms Available.

What RevPAR means (and what it doesn’t)

RevPAR (Revenue per Available Room) is a speedometer for room revenue. It combines two things you control every day: how much you charge (ADR) and how many rooms you sell (occupancy). It’s the fastest way to answer: “How much room revenue am I generating per room I could have sold?”

RevPAR does not include F&B, parking, spa, or other ancillary revenue. It also doesn’t measure profit. Two hotels can have the same RevPAR and very different cost structures. Use RevPAR to compare performance over time and to sanity-check pricing moves.

How to use this RevPAR calculator

  • Start with ADR: use your expected (or actual) ADR for a date range. If you have multiple room types, use weighted ADR.
  • Set occupancy: for future dates, use on-the-books occupancy (and update as pickup changes).
  • Rooms available: if you run rooms out of order, reduce the room count to match sellable inventory.
  • Days in period: convert daily room revenue into a period projection. For month-to-date, use days elapsed; for monthly forecast, use days in month.

Tip: if you’re deciding between “raise rates” vs “push occupancy”, compare scenarios by changing ADR and occupancy and watching how RevPAR and room revenue move. This helps you pick the smallest action that achieves your revenue goal.

Common mistakes that distort RevPAR

Mixing gross and net: ADR should be consistent (gross room rate vs net after taxes/fees). If you mix definitions, RevPAR gets noisy.

Using “rooms in the hotel” instead of “rooms available”: if 5 rooms are out of order and you still use full inventory, you understate RevPAR.

Ignoring length of stay: RevPAR is daily. If you’re evaluating promotions, also look at total revenue by stay length and cancellation risk.

Benchmarks & context

A “good” RevPAR depends on your market (city vs resort), seasonality, segment mix, and hotel class. The most reliable way to use RevPAR is: compare your property against the same dates last year, then cross-check against compset trends.

If your RevPAR is flat but occupancy is up, you’re likely discounting. If RevPAR is up but occupancy is down, you may be overpricing or restricting. Pair this with distribution data (OTA vs direct) to understand if you’re buying occupancy with margin.

FAQ

Is RevPAR the same as ADR?

No. ADR is price; RevPAR is price multiplied by occupancy, so it bakes in demand.

Should I use forecast or actual occupancy?

Use actuals for reporting and forecast/on-the-books for planning. The tool works for both—just label your inputs consistently.

Does RevPAR include taxes?

Typically, RevPAR is calculated on room revenue excluding taxes. If you include taxes, keep it consistent across time periods.
