RevPAR calculator
Work out your hotel's revenue per available room: what each room you had on offer earned, whether it sold or not. Use room revenue and room-nights, or ADR and occupancy. The result updates as you type.
Use revenue excluding GST. The maths runs in your browser; ClearHost doesn't store your figures.
What is RevPAR in hotels?
RevPAR (revenue per available room) is the room revenue a hotel earns for every room-night it had available to sell. It combines price and occupancy into one number, which is why it's the KPI most hotels use to judge how their rooms are really performing.
Unlike ADR, RevPAR counts empty rooms. An unsold room-night adds nothing to revenue but still counts in the total, so RevPAR only rises when you fill rooms, sell them at a better rate, or both.
That makes RevPAR the fairest way to compare performance across months, room types or properties of different sizes. A 20-room homestay and a 120-room hotel can't compare total revenue, but they can compare what each available room earned per night.
The RevPAR formula
RevPAR = room revenue ÷ available room-nights
or, if you already know your other two KPIs:
RevPAR = ADR × occupancy rate
Available room-nights are your sellable rooms × the days in the period. Use room revenue excluding GST, breakfast and other extras. Both formulas give the same answer when the inputs come from the same dates.
A worked example
A 30-room hotel has 30 × 30 = 900 available room-nights in a 30-day month. It earns ₹19,00,800 from rooms, so its RevPAR is ₹19,00,800 ÷ 900 = ₹2,112.
Check it the other way. The hotel sold 594 room-nights, so its ADR is ₹3,200 and its occupancy is 66%. ₹3,200 × 66% = ₹2,112, the same result.
Now say the hotel cuts its rate to ₹2,800 and sells 700 room-nights instead. Room revenue becomes ₹19,60,000 and RevPAR rises to about ₹2,178. Occupancy went up, ADR went down, and RevPAR tells you the trade was worth it.
The most common mistake
Dividing by rooms instead of room-nights. ₹19,00,800 ÷ 30 rooms gives ₹63,360, which is each room's revenue for the whole month, not RevPAR. Always multiply rooms by the days in the period first. Leave out rooms that were genuinely unsellable, such as rooms closed for renovation, but keep rooms that were simply empty.
Keep the period consistent too. Room revenue, rooms and days must all cover the same dates, or the result won't mean anything.
6 ways to improve your RevPAR
RevPAR moves when occupancy, rate or both move. The best levers raise one without giving away the other. Most of them work best together, and none of them needs a blanket price cut.
Price with demand
Raise rates on nights demand is strong and ease them on soft nights, rather than holding one tariff all season.
Fill the soft nights
Target midweek and off-season dates with packages, longer-stay offers or corporate rates, instead of discounting busy weekends.
Reach more channels
List on the OTAs your guests actually use, and keep rates and availability in sync so no room goes unsold through a missed update.
Win more direct bookings
Guests who book on your own website cost you no OTA commission, so more of every rupee they pay stays with you.
Upsell room types
Offer upgrades at booking and check-in. Every guest who moves to a better room lifts revenue without needing another room-night.
Manage length of stay
Use minimum stays on peak dates so short bookings don't block longer, higher-value stays and leave gaps either side.
RevPAR vs ADR, TRevPAR and GOPPAR
RevPAR is the best single measure of room performance, but it doesn't tell the whole story. It ignores your costs, the revenue you earn outside rooms, and the commission you pay OTAs to win each booking. Read it alongside these three.
RevPAR vs ADR
ADR only looks at rooms you sold, so it measures price. RevPAR divides the same revenue by every room you had available, so it measures price and occupancy together. If ADR rises while RevPAR falls, the higher rate cost you more bookings than it earned. Calculate your ADR.
RevPAR vs TRevPAR
RevPAR counts room revenue only. TRevPAR adds food and drink, spa, events and every other income line, which matters for resorts and hotels with a busy restaurant. If guests spend well on meals and activities, a slightly lower room rate that fills more rooms can still lift total revenue, and only TRevPAR will show it. Calculate your TRevPAR.
RevPAR vs GOPPAR
RevPAR measures revenue, not profit. Two hotels with the same RevPAR can earn very different amounts once payroll, utilities and OTA commissions are paid. Some hotels also track net RevPAR, which takes commissions and other distribution costs out of room revenue first. GOPPAR goes further and subtracts all operating costs. Calculate your GOPPAR.
