Compare Common Scenarios
How the numbers shift across typical situations for this calculator:
| Scenario | RevPAR |
|---|---|
| $120k / 900 room-nights | $133.33 |
| $30k / 600 room-nights | $50.00 |
| $1.2M / 4,500 room-nights | $266.67 |
| $80k / 1,200 room-nights | $66.67 |
How This Calculator Works
Enter total room revenue and available room-nights over the same period. The calculator divides one by the other to give RevPAR — revenue per available room. The denominator includes empty rooms, which is the whole point: RevPAR captures the cost of unsold inventory along with the price of sold inventory.
The Formula
Cost per Unit
Total Amount is the full cost or price, Quantity is the number of units it covers
Worked Example
A hotel earning $120,000 of room revenue across 900 available room-nights posts a $133 RevPAR. The same hotel with 100% occupancy at $150 ADR would post $150 RevPAR; running 90% occupied at the same rate drops it to $135 — RevPAR exposes the cost of empty rooms even at strong ADR.
Key Insight
RevPAR is the hospitality industry's preferred metric because it cannot be gamed by either lever alone. A hotel can hit a high ADR by turning customers away, or high occupancy by giving rooms away cheaply. RevPAR rewards the only combination that produces strong revenue per unit of inventory — both ADR and occupancy at decent levels.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is RevPAR calculated?
Divide total room revenue by available room-nights in the period. A $120,000 month across 900 available room-nights is a $133 RevPAR.
How does RevPAR differ from ADR?
ADR is revenue divided by rooms sold — average price per occupied room. RevPAR divides by available rooms, capturing both price and occupancy in one figure. RevPAR will always be lower than ADR unless occupancy is 100%.
What is total RevPAR?
RevPAR including all ancillary revenue — food, beverage, spa, parking — divided by available rooms. Resorts and full-service hotels often watch total RevPAR because rooms are only one piece of the business.
What is a good RevPAR?
It varies enormously by market and segment. Luxury urban hotels can post $300+ RevPAR; budget select-service properties land closer to $50 to $80. Compare against the segment and market, not industry averages.
How do hotels grow RevPAR?
Either raise ADR without losing occupancy, or lift occupancy without cutting rate too far. Most revenue management focuses on the trade-off between the two; pushing both at once is the holy grail.

Methodology & Review
RevPAR is total room revenue divided by available room-nights — rooms × nights in the period, including empty ones. It combines occupancy and ADR (average daily rate) into a single yield-style figure. Food, beverage, and other ancillary revenue are not included; for total RevPAR add those separately.
