Average daily rate (ADR) calculator

Average daily rate (ADR) is your room revenue divided by the room nights you sold. It tells you what a sold room earned on average, not how full the hotel was.

Example: a 120-room hotel over 30 nights. Type your own figures.

ADR
€140.00
Occupancy
80.0%
RevPAR
€112.00

ADR = €403,200 ÷ 2,880 = €140.00

How to calculate ADR

ADR = room revenue ÷ room nights sold. Count rooms revenue only, without breakfast or taxes, and treat complimentary rooms the same way every month, or the trend means nothing.

Example: €403,200 in room revenue from 2,880 room nights sold gives an ADR of €140. If those nights came from a 120-room hotel over 30 nights, occupancy was 80% and RevPAR €112.

A high ADR with few rooms sold is not a win. ADR and occupancy pull against each other, which is why most hotels judge them together through RevPAR.

What hotel leaders say

  • Rogier Ensel

    “Occupancy tells you if it's right or wrong, and ADR is then the measurement where you move up or down.”

    Rogier Ensel, Owner, RevGenListen from 19:27
  • Rastko Djordjevic

    “They were only able to get seven, eight, 9% more in the ADR. And when you do the calculation, that was not sufficient to pay back the investments we made.”
