Hotel Average Daily Rate (ADR) calculator measures revenue per occupied room. ADR = total room revenue / rooms sold. Combined with occupancy and RevPAR (Revenue per Available Room), gives full picture of hotel performance. 100k revenue from 2,000 room nights = 50 ADR. With 80% occupancy on 100 rooms over 30 days: RevPAR = 41.67.

Example: 100-room hotel, 30-day period, 2,000 rooms sold (out of 3,000 available = 67% occupancy), 100,000 total room revenue. ADR = 100,000 / 2,000 = 50. RevPAR = 100,000 / 3,000 = 33.33. Annualised revenue = 1.22M. Different hotels emphasise different metrics: luxury chases ADR, budget chases occupancy.

Hotel performance benchmarks: Budget hotels (Premier Inn, Travelodge): 40-70 ADR, 80-85% occupancy. Mid-scale (Hilton Garden Inn): 80-130 ADR, 70-80% occupancy. Luxury (Four Seasons, Ritz): 400-800 ADR, 65-75% occupancy. RevPAR more important than either alone - high ADR with low occupancy = empty hotel; high occupancy with low ADR = race to bottom.

Quick example

With total room revenue of 100,000 and rooms sold of 2,000 (plus rooms available of 100 and days in period of 30), the result is 50.00. Change any figure and watch the output shift — it's often more useful to see the pattern than to memorise the formula.

Which inputs matter most

You enter Total Room Revenue, Rooms Sold (Total), Rooms Available, and Days in Period. Not every input has equal weight. Flip one at a time toward extreme values to feel which ones move the needle most for your situation.

What's happening under the hood

ADR = revenue / rooms sold. Occupancy = sold / (available × days). RevPAR = revenue / (available × days). The formula is listed in full below. If the number looks off, you can retrace the calculation by hand — that's the point of showing the working.

Using this well

Treat the output as one point on a wider map. Run it three times — a pessimistic case, a central case, and a stretch case — and plan against the pessimistic one. That habit alone separates people who stick with an investment plan from those who bail at the first wobble.

What this doesn't capture

Steady-rate math ignores real-world volatility. Actual returns are lumpy; sequence-of-returns risk matters most in drawdown; fees and taxes drag on compound growth; and behaviour changes in drawdowns can reduce outcomes below the projection. Treat the number as one scenario, not a forecast.

Example Scenario

£100,000 £ / 2,000 rooms = $50.00.

Inputs

Total Room Revenue:100,000 £
Rooms Sold (Total):2,000
Rooms Available:100
Days in Period:30
Expected Result$50.00

This example uses typical values for illustration. Adjust the inputs above to match a specific situation and see how the result changes.

Sources & Methodology

Methodology

ADR = revenue / rooms sold. Occupancy = sold / (available × days). RevPAR = revenue / (available × days).

Frequently Asked Questions

ADR vs RevPAR - which matters?
RevPAR more comprehensive - measures revenue per available room (whether sold or empty). ADR only measures sold rooms - high ADR with low occupancy can equal less revenue than lower ADR with high occupancy. Hotel revenue management optimises RevPAR (the ultimate goal), using ADR and occupancy as levers.
Industry benchmarks?
Budget chains: ADR 40-70, occupancy 80-85%, RevPAR 35-55. Mid-scale: ADR 80-130, occupancy 70-80%, RevPAR 60-100. Upper-scale: ADR 150-300, occupancy 70-80%, RevPAR 110-225. Luxury: ADR 400-1500+, occupancy 60-80%, RevPAR 280-1000+. / premium 30-50% above national averages.
Seasonal variations?
: peak summer (June-August) and December (Christmas markets). Beach resorts: heavy summer concentration. Business hotels: Tuesday-Thursday peaks, weekends quiet. Convention cities: peak during major events. Average annual occupancy hides massive intra-year variation. Plan revenue around seasonal patterns - flat-rate analysis misleads.
How to grow RevPAR?
(1) Yield management software (dynamic pricing). (2) Direct booking incentives (avoid OTA commissions). (3) Length-of-stay restrictions during peak (e.g., minimum 2 nights). (4) Quality improvements supporting price increases. (5) Loyalty programs reducing acquisition costs. (6) Channel optimisation (mix of direct, OTAs, corporate). Dynamic ADR optimisation often adds 5-10% to RevPAR.
