Cost per occupied room (CPOR)

CPOR is what it costs you to service one sold room-night — housekeeping labour, linen, amenities, utilities.

Formula

CPOR = costs of servicing rooms ÷ room-nights sold

Worked example

  1. A month's room-servicing costs come to ₱395,000 across 658 room-nights sold.
  2. ₱395,000 ÷ 658 = ₱600 CPOR.
  3. Against an ADR of ₱3,854, that leaves ₱3,254 per night before your fixed costs.

Why it matters

CPOR is the floor under your discounting. Selling a night below CPOR loses money on every guest, no matter what it does to your occupancy.

It is also the number that makes a last-minute rate decision quick: if the offer clears CPOR by a sensible margin, take it.

Which costs belong in CPOR is a judgement. Utilities are the argument: a room that sits empty still costs something in a Philippine climate, so many operators put only the marginal part — laundry, water, extra aircon hours — into CPOR and leave base electricity in fixed costs.
