Occupancy is the share of capacity actually sold. Hotels in the U.S. average about 63–65%; rooms out of service for maintenance are usually excluded from the available count.
How to use the Occupancy Rate Calculator
- Period
- Rooms occupied per day (average)
- Rooms in maintenance or unavailable
- Total rooms
- Average daily rate
Results update as you type, and every field accepts the units shown in its menu.
How it works
Enter the period in days, rooms occupied per day on average, rooms unavailable, total rooms and the average daily rate.
Tips
- Get a written loan estimate and compare the APR, not just the interest rate.
- Include property tax, insurance, HOA fees and maintenance in your monthly budget.
- A larger down payment lowers the payment and can remove mortgage insurance.
- Rates change daily – use a current quote for the most accurate result.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Looking only at the monthly payment instead of the total cost of the loan.
- Forgetting closing costs and fees.
- Assuming home prices always rise.
Inputs explained
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Period | In days |
| Rooms occupied per day (average) | A number |
| Rooms in maintenance or unavailable | A number |
| Total rooms | A number |
| Average daily rate | Amount in your currency |
What each result means
- Available room-nights = ([Total rooms] – [Rooms in maintenance or unavailable])×[Period]
- Occupancy rate = [Rooms occupied per day (average)]×[Period]÷[Available room-nights]×100
- Room revenue = [Rooms occupied per day (average)]×[Period]×[Average daily rate]
- RevPAR = [Room revenue]÷[Available room-nights]
Example values
How the main result changes when Period changes and everything else stays at the example values above:
| Period (days) | Occupancy rate (%) |
|---|---|
| 15 | 75 |
| 22.5 | 75 |
| 30 | 75 |
| 37.5 | 75 |
| 45 | 75 |
| 60 | 75 |
Formula
Available room-nights = (total rooms − rooms unavailable) × daysOccupancy = occupied room-nights ÷ available room-nights × 100RevPAR = room revenue ÷ available room-nightsWorked example
Inputs — Period: 30 days; Rooms occupied per day (average): 72; Rooms in maintenance or unavailable: 4; Total rooms: 100; Average daily rate: $145.
Results — Available room-nights = 2,880; Occupancy rate = 75 %; Room revenue = $313,200.00; RevPAR = $108.75.
