Formula used
- RevPAR = Room Revenue ÷ Rooms Available
- RevPAR = ADR × Occupancy Rate
- ADR = Room Revenue ÷ Rooms Sold
- Occupancy Rate = Rooms Sold ÷ Rooms Available
The calculator derives missing metrics when enough inputs exist. If both RevPAR methods are available, it shows both and flags meaningful differences.
How to use this calculator

Why RevPAR Matters Today
RevPAR links pricing power with demand capture, making it a dependable revenue signal. By dividing room revenue by rooms available, it normalizes performance across different inventory sizes. When you compare daily, weekly, or monthly periods, you can spot whether gains come from better rates, stronger occupancy, or both. Use the calculator to keep RevPAR comparable across properties and seasons.
Choosing The Right Period
Pick periods that match your operating decisions. Daily RevPAR helps evaluate promotions, events, and sudden demand changes, while weekly views smooth noise from check-in patterns. Monthly RevPAR works for budgeting and owner reporting. Ensure rooms available reflects out-of-order inventory and closed floors. Consistent period definitions prevent misleading trends and make improvement targets easier to communicate across teams.
Balancing Rate And Occupancy
RevPAR improves when ADR rises without sacrificing occupancy, or when occupancy grows at stable ADR. The calculator shows both methods: revenue divided by available rooms and ADR times occupancy. If those two results diverge, rounding or mixed inputs may be driving the gap. Use that signal to reconcile source data and avoid overreacting to changes that are measurement artifacts.
Diagnosing Channel Mix Shifts
RevPAR can change even when your headline rate looks steady, because channel mix affects net room revenue. Segment by direct, corporate, group, and online travel agencies to see where profitability is leaking. Track RevPAR alongside cancellation rates and length of stay to identify whether occupancy is being bought with discounts. Use the same room availability baseline for clean comparisons.
Turning Results Into Actions
After you calculate RevPAR, translate it into controllable levers. If RevPAR is below plan, test pricing fences, minimum stays, and targeted packages before broad discounts. If occupancy is weak, adjust distribution, timing, and messaging rather than cutting rates immediately. Review RevPAR with ADR and occupancy in the same meeting so teams align on a single story and next steps. For multi-property portfolios, standardize currency, exclude non-room income, and log assumptions so analysts can audit the numbers quickly later across brands and cycles. When a change looks significant, drill into day-of-week patterns, pickup windows, and competitor rate checks before updating your pricing rules in your meeting notes.
FAQs
1) What does RevPAR measure?
RevPAR measures room revenue earned per available room in a period. It combines rate and occupancy into one metric, letting you compare performance across dates, properties, and inventory sizes.
2) Which inputs are required?
Rooms available is required. Then provide either room revenue, or provide ADR plus occupancy. Rooms sold is optional but helps the calculator derive missing metrics and validate consistency.
3) How is RevPAR different from ADR?
ADR is revenue per sold room, so it ignores empty inventory. RevPAR accounts for unsold rooms by dividing by rooms available, making it more sensitive to demand shortfalls.
4) Can RevPAR fall when occupancy rises?
Yes. If occupancy increases due to heavy discounting, ADR may drop enough that RevPAR declines. Watching both ADR and occupancy alongside RevPAR explains whether volume growth is profitable.
5) Should I enter gross or net room revenue?
Use the revenue definition you track consistently. Many operators prefer net room revenue after commissions for channel comparisons, while owner reporting may use gross. Just keep the choice stable across periods.
6) How often should I track RevPAR?
Track daily for tactical pricing and demand signals, weekly for operational reviews, and monthly for budgeting. The best cadence is the one that matches how quickly you can change rates and distribution.
