A 20-room property averaging 13 occupied rooms at a $110 average daily rate runs 65% occupancy, a $71.50 RevPAR, and about $42,900 a month in room revenue. Enter your rooms, occupancy and ADR below to see yours, then find the occupancy you need to hit a target RevPAR. Free, live, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
A result above 100% means the target is out of reach at your current ADR; raise the rate or lower the target. Estimates recalculate as you type, entirely on this page.
RevPAR = ADR x occupancy, which is the same thing as room revenue / available room nights. Occupancy = rooms occupied / total rooms. With the defaults: 13 / 20 = 65% occupancy, and $110 x 0.65 = $71.50 of revenue per available room per night. Monthly room revenue approximates a 30-night month: RevPAR x total rooms x 30 = $71.50 x 20 x 30 = $42,900.
The break-even section inverts the formula: required occupancy = target RevPAR / ADR. At the defaults, $85 / $110 = 77.3%, meaning a 20-room property needs about 15.5 rooms sold a night. If the answer comes back above 100%, no amount of occupancy reaches the target and the rate itself has to move.
RevPAR is the honest metric because it punishes both empty rooms and underpriced full ones: cutting ADR to fill rooms, or holding a high rate at 40% occupancy, can produce the same mediocre RevPAR. Judge changes against your own history and your local competitive set rather than national averages, and remember RevPAR ignores costs - a walk-in booked at midnight is nearly pure margin on a room that was going to sit empty.
Occupancy starts with answered phones: many hotel and motel booking calls come after the desk closes, and Siya answers 24/7 from $19/mo (pricing) so the 11 p.m. caller becomes one of tonight's occupied rooms. The missed call calculator shows what those calls are worth.
RevPAR (revenue per available room) = ADR x occupancy, which equals total room revenue / available room nights. At the defaults, 13 of 20 rooms is 65% occupancy, and $110 x 0.65 = $71.50 RevPAR: every room, sold or empty, earned $71.50 that night.
Occupancy says how full you are, ADR says what a sold room earns, and RevPAR multiplies them so neither can hide the other. Slashing rates to fill rooms or holding high rates over empty ones can produce the same RevPAR, which is why revenue managers treat it as the headline number.
There is no universal benchmark: a highway motel and a downtown boutique differ by hundreds of dollars. Compare RevPAR against your own history month over month and against your local competitive set. Rising RevPAR at stable ADR means you are genuinely selling more nights, not just discounting.
Required occupancy = target RevPAR / ADR. To reach an $85 RevPAR at a $110 ADR you need 85 / 110 = 77.3% occupancy, about 15.5 rooms a night on a 20-room property. A result above 100% means the target is unreachable at your current rate.
