Revenue per available room (RevPAR)
RevPAR = ADR × occupancy—wizard splits **inventory** from **pricing & utilization** like STR dashboards.
Example scenario
A 31-day urban boutique property with 30 keys plans for 930 available room nights in the month and is pacing at 76% occupancy from PMS pickup reports after group wash assumptions. Revenue management holds ADR at $168 net of transient discounting but before taxes and ancillary upsells like parking or breakfast. At those defaults, RevPAR models to about $127.68 and total rooms revenue for the period lands near $118,742.40, giving operators a clean rooms-only baseline before departmental profit allocation.

How to use the revenue per available room (revpar)
- Input room nights in period from inventory (keys × days less out-of-order rooms if you exclude them operationally) so denominator reflects sellable stock.
- Set occupancy (%) from your PMS or STR-style pace assumptions for the same period and segment mix you are forecasting.
- Enter average daily rate ($) as rooms revenue per occupied room night, excluding taxes and non-room ancillaries unless your finance policy bundles them.
- Read RevPAR and total rooms revenue together, then rerun scenarios with occupancy and ADR shifts to test pricing power versus demand softness.
Hotel demand and pricing benchmark context
- US hotel occupancy trend context (all classes, broad market)
- Recent industry reporting often places national occupancy in roughly the low-60% range annually, with large seasonal and market-level variation.
- ADR seasonality behavior
- ADR commonly swings by weekday/weekend mix, event calendar, and compression periods; city-center properties can see double-digit percentage ADR changes between shoulder and peak dates.
- RevPAR as a management KPI
- Revenue teams use RevPAR for rooms performance, but pair it with GOPPAR or NOI metrics because RevPAR excludes operating cost structure.
Best use cases
- Forecasting and scenario planning
- Client education and pre-qualification
- Budget and performance decision support
Frequently asked questions
Is RevPAR enough to judge whether a hotel month was truly profitable?
No. RevPAR isolates rooms revenue productivity, not cost. A month with stronger RevPAR can still underperform on profit if labor, distribution, utilities, or fixed costs rise faster than rooms revenue.
Should I include complimentary rooms in occupancy and ADR math?
Use your property's reporting policy consistently. Many teams exclude comp rooms from ADR revenue math but still track them in occupancy diagnostics; inconsistency between systems can distort RevPAR comparisons.
How does this differ from TRevPAR and GOPPAR?
This calculator is rooms-only: ADR × occupancy and resulting rooms revenue. TRevPAR includes total departmental revenue, while GOPPAR adds operating profit perspective after expenses.
Can I use this for weekly pickup or only monthly forecasts?
You can use any period as long as inputs share the same timeframe. For weekly pickup, use weekly available room nights, weekly occupancy assumption, and weekly ADR.
