RevPAR
RevPAR is revenue per available night. It combines price and occupancy into one number, so it shows whether a pricing change actually earned you more.
Examples on this page use made-up homes and numbers to show the method. They are not client results.
How to work it out
RevPAR = nightly revenue ÷ available nights
It is also ADR × occupancy rate.
Example
Imagine a home that earned $3,600 from 18 booked nights out of 30 available in June.
- $3,600 ÷ 30 = $120 RevPAR
- Check: $200 ADR × 60% occupancy = $120
Why it matters
Two months can look very different and earn the same:
| Month | ADR | Occupancy | RevPAR |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | $200 | 60% | $120 |
| B | $150 | 80% | $120 |
Month B has 6 more turnovers to clean for the same revenue. When RevPAR is equal, the higher rate with fewer stays usually leaves you more profit.
