RevPAR Calculator

RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) measures hotel performance by combining room rate and occupancy into a single figure. It divides total room revenue by available room-nights: total room revenue / (rooms available × days) = RevPAR. In the worked example, 100,000 of revenue from 100 rooms over 30 days gives a RevPAR of 33.33. It's a common hospitality metric for comparing a property to its own past or to similar properties.

With the defaults, a 100-room hotel earning 100,000 over 30 days has a RevPAR of 100,000 / (100 × 30) = 33.33 per available room per day, or about 12,167 annualised. Because RevPAR blends rate and occupancy, a high rate with low occupancy and a low rate with high occupancy can land on the same RevPAR — which is why it sits alongside ADR and occupancy rather than replacing them.

RevPAR figures vary widely by property class, location, and local currency, so a raw number only means something next to a comparable reference: the same property over time, or similar properties in the same market and currency. Luxury properties generally post far higher RevPAR than budget ones, though both the gap and the absolute values differ by country. Because this calculator is currency-neutral, the result is most meaningful next to a comparable reference in the same market and currency rather than a fixed band.

A worked example

With the defaults: total room revenue of 100,000, rooms available of 100, days in period of 30. The tool returns 33.33. Adjust any input and the result updates as you type — no submit button, no reload. The value is in seeing how sensitive the output is to one or two assumptions.

What moves the number most

The result responds to Total Room Revenue, Rooms Available, and Days in Period. Revenue sits on top of the fraction while rooms and days multiply underneath, so a 10% change in any single input moves RevPAR by a similar proportion — directly for revenue, inversely for rooms or days. Adjusting one at a time makes that relationship visible.

The formula behind this

RevPAR = total revenue / (rooms × days). The annualised figures multiply the period rate by 365, so they assume that rate holds all year and ignore seasonality — a straight-line extrapolation rather than a forecast. Everything the calculator does is shown in the formula box below, so you can check the math against your own spreadsheet.

Why run this

Running the numbers makes the trade-offs concrete. Small changes in the inputs can move the result more than intuition suggests, which is hard to judge without working it out.

What this doesn't capture

This is a simplified model that holds its assumptions constant. Real outcomes vary with market conditions, costs, taxes, and timing, so the figure is best read as one scenario rather than a forecast. Room revenue is the only income counted — food and beverage, events, and other streams sit outside it.
