Hotel occupancy rate calculator

Your hotel occupancy rate is the share of available room nights you sold: room nights sold divided by rooms times nights. A 120-room hotel that sells 2,880 nights in a 30-night month runs at 80%.

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

Occupancy
80.0%
ADR
€140.00
RevPAR
€112.00

Occupancy = 2,880 ÷ (120 × 30) = 80.0%

How to calculate the occupancy rate

Occupancy = room nights sold ÷ (rooms × nights) × 100. Use the same room count every month: if rooms are out of order for a renovation, decide once whether they count as available.

Example: 120 rooms over 30 nights give 3,600 available room nights. Selling 2,880 of them is an occupancy rate of 80%.

Full is not the same as good. A hotel at 100% may have sold too cheaply, and the rate decides the revenue. That is why occupancy sits next to ADR and RevPAR on every report.
