Hotel Occupancy Rate Calculator

Hotel occupancy rate is the percentage of available rooms that are actually filled on a given night or over a period. It is the most fundamental metric in hotel revenue management, used alongside ADR (Average Daily Rate) and RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room).

Key formulas:

Occupancy Rate = Rooms Occupied ÷ Rooms Available × 100 ADR (Average Daily Rate) = Total Room Revenue ÷ Rooms Occupied RevPAR = Occupancy Rate × ADR (or) RevPAR = Total Room Revenue ÷ Rooms Available Total Revenue = Rooms Occupied × ADR

What each variable means:

• Rooms Available — total sellable rooms × number of nights in the period (rooms out of service for maintenance are excluded).
• Rooms Occupied — actual guest-nights sold.
• ADR — average price paid per occupied room (excludes complimentary rooms).
• RevPAR — the single most important performance metric; measures how well you monetize capacity.

Industry benchmarks:

• Budget hotels: Occupancy 60–70%, ADR $60–$100, RevPAR $40–$70
• Midscale: Occupancy 65–75%, ADR $100–$150, RevPAR $65–$115
• Upscale: Occupancy 70–80%, ADR $150–$250, RevPAR $105–$200
• Luxury: Occupancy 65–75%, ADR $300–$600+, RevPAR $195–$450

Worked example: A 120-room hotel over a 30-day month. Rooms occupied: 2,520 room-nights. Total room revenue: $315,000.

Rooms Available = 120 × 30 = 3,600 room-nights Occupancy = 2,520 ÷ 3,600 × 100 = 70% ADR = $315,000 ÷ 2,520 = $125 per night RevPAR = $315,000 ÷ 3,600 = $87.50 (or 70% × $125 = $87.50 ✓)
