Revenue per available room.

RevPAR = ADR × Occupancy

What is RevPAR?

RevPAR — revenue per available room — measures rooms revenue against every room you could have sold, occupied or not. Because it blends rate and occupancy into one number, it's the standard way hoteliers compare performance over time and against a competitive set.

The RevPAR formula, with an example

Two equivalent formulas: RevPAR = ADR × occupancy, or RevPAR = rooms revenue ÷ available room nights. Example: an ADR of $150 at 70% occupancy gives a RevPAR of $105. A 120-room hotel earning about $4,599,000 of annual rooms revenue over 43,800 available room nights also has a RevPAR of roughly $105.

RevPAR vs. ADR vs. occupancy

ADR tells you your average rate; occupancy tells you how full you are; RevPAR combines both, so it catches the trade-off between them. Discounting to fill rooms can lift occupancy while lowering RevPAR — which is why RevPAR, not ADR or occupancy alone, ties most directly to NOI.

Why RevPAR matters for your debt

RevPAR growth flows into NOI, and NOI is what lenders size loans against. Improving RevPAR — through rate discipline, channel mix, and demand generation — is often the most controllable lever for strengthening DSCR and refinance capacity.

Questions, answered

What is RevPAR?
RevPAR (revenue per available room) measures rooms revenue per available room, blending rate and occupancy into one figure. It equals ADR × occupancy.
What is the RevPAR formula?
RevPAR = ADR × occupancy, or equivalently rooms revenue ÷ available room nights. Example: $150 ADR × 70% occupancy = $105 RevPAR.
How do you calculate RevPAR?
Multiply your average daily rate by your occupancy percentage, or divide total rooms revenue by the number of available room nights in the period.
What's the difference between RevPAR and ADR?
ADR is your average rate for rooms actually sold; RevPAR spreads revenue across all available rooms, so it reflects both rate and occupancy. RevPAR is lower than ADR whenever occupancy is below 100%.
