Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) Tool
Calculate and analyze your hotel's RevPAR to optimize revenue management and track performance against industry benchmarks.
How RevPAR is Calculated
Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) measures the revenue generated per available room:
This key performance metric combines occupancy rate and average daily rate to provide a comprehensive view of revenue efficiency.
- Formula: RevPAR = Total Room Revenue / Total Available Rooms
- Inputs: Total Room Revenue, Total Available Rooms
- Output: RevPAR
- USA Context: Industry benchmarks and performance metrics

Understanding RevPAR
Definition
Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) is a key performance metric in the hospitality industry that measures the revenue generated per available room during a specific period. It combines occupancy rate and average daily rate to provide a comprehensive view of revenue efficiency.
RevPAR Calculation Method
The formula is straightforward:
Alternatively, RevPAR can be calculated as: RevPAR = Occupancy Rate × Average Daily Rate
RevPAR Quiz
Question 1: Basic Calculation
If a hotel generates $15,000 in room revenue and has 100 available rooms during a week, what is the RevPAR according to the formula?
Using the formula RevPAR = Total Room Revenue / Total Available Rooms:
RevPAR = $15,000 / 100 = $150
The RevPAR is $150.
Question 2: Comparative Analysis
Which scenario represents better revenue efficiency: Hotel A with $120 RevPAR or Hotel B with $140 RevPAR?
Hotel B with $140 RevPAR demonstrates better revenue efficiency as it generates more revenue per available room than Hotel A with $120 RevPAR.
RevPAR is a direct measure of revenue efficiency, so higher values indicate better performance.
Question 3: Strategic Implications
How might a hotel with a high RevPAR ($180) but low occupancy rate (50%) differ strategically from one with a low RevPAR ($90) but high occupancy rate (90%)?
The two hotels have different strategic approaches:
- High RevPAR, Low Occupancy: Premium pricing strategy, targeting luxury market
- Low RevPAR, High Occupancy: Volume-based strategy, focusing on filling rooms
- Revenue Impact: Both might generate similar total revenue but with different cost structures
- Resource Utilization: The high occupancy hotel uses resources more efficiently
Each strategy has its place depending on market conditions and target segments.
Q&A
Q: What are typical RevPAR benchmarks for different hotel types in the USA?
A: RevPAR benchmarks vary significantly by hotel type and location:
By Hotel Type:
- Budget Hotels: $60-90 (varies by location)
- Mid-Range Hotels: $90-140 (typical performance)
- Luxury Resorts: $150-250 (premium positioning)
- Business Hotels: $100-180 (depends on location)
- Extended Stay: $70-110 (longer-term guests)
Seasonal Variations:
- Peak Season: 20-40% above average
- Shoulder Season: 5-15% above average
- Off-Season: 20-30% below average
These benchmarks serve as guidelines for performance evaluation.
Q: How does RevPAR relate to other key performance indicators in the hospitality industry?
A: RevPAR connects to several other KPIs:
Occupancy Rate:
- Occupancy Rate = (Rooms Sold / Available Rooms) × 100
- RevPAR = Occupancy Rate × Average Daily Rate
- Together they show balance between volume and pricing
Average Daily Rate (ADR):
- ADR = Total Room Revenue / Rooms Sold
- Measures pricing power and market positioning
- Combined with occupancy, determines RevPAR
Other Metrics:
- Revenue Per Occupied Room (RevPOR): Revenue per sold room
- ARPOR: Average Revenue Per Occupied Room
- GOPPAR: Gross Operating Profit Per Available Room
RevPAR serves as a central metric linking revenue performance across all these measures.
