RevPAR Calculator (Hotel Occupancy Revenue)
Calculate hotel RevPAR — revenue per available room — from occupancy and average daily rate, the core measure of rooms performance.
How it works
RevPAR = occupancy% × ADR (equivalently, room revenue ÷ rooms available) · Room revenue = RevPAR × rooms × nights
RevPAR — revenue per available room — is the headline metric of hotel rooms performance because it blends both levers at once: how full you are (occupancy) and how much you charge (ADR). A property can raise RevPAR by filling more rooms or by charging more per room, and RevPAR shows the net effect of any trade-off between the two. Unlike ADR, it counts every available room, not just the ones sold, so it penalizes empty inventory.
Worked example
A 120-room hotel running 78% occupancy at a $145 ADR has a RevPAR of 0.78 × $145 = $113.10. That is about $13,572 of room revenue per night across all 120 rooms, or roughly $407,160 over a 30-night month.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between RevPAR and ADR?
ADR (average daily rate) is revenue per room actually sold; RevPAR spreads room revenue across every available room, sold or not. A high ADR with low occupancy can still produce a weak RevPAR, which is why RevPAR is the better overall measure.
How do you improve RevPAR?
Either raise occupancy (better distribution, promotions, group bookings) or raise ADR (dynamic pricing, upsells, demand-based rates). The art is lifting one without giving back more than you gain on the other.
Is a higher RevPAR always better?
For rooms revenue, generally yes — but it ignores the cost of filling rooms and non-room revenue like food, beverage and events. Total RevPAR (TRevPAR) and profit per room give a fuller picture of profitability.
