Occupancy rate

Occupancy rate is the share of your available room-nights that were actually sold in a period, expressed as a percentage.

Formula

Occupancy = room-nights sold ÷ room-nights available × 100

Worked example

  1. A 32-room resort in a 31-day month has 32 × 31 = 992 available room-nights.
  2. It sells 658 of them.
  3. 658 ÷ 992 × 100 = 66.3% occupancy.

Why it matters

It is the number every other room metric divides by, so getting the denominator wrong quietly corrupts your ADR and your RevPAR too. A room out of service should come out of the count; a room being renovated for three months certainly should.

On its own it says nothing about whether you made money. A property can run at 90% by discounting into the ground. Read it next to ADR, never alone.

Watch it by room rather than only by property. A single room stuck at 40% while the rest run at 75% is usually a fixable problem — a bad photo, a rate set wrong, or a fault nobody logged — and the property-level average hides it completely.

Computed from your active room count and the nights actually sold, for the month or the year, and filterable to a single room. Rooms marked inactive drop out of the denominator rather than dragging the figure down.
