Occupancy Rate Calculator (Occupancy Rate)

Calculate the percentage of occupied units or rooms for hotels, boarding houses, apartments, and rental properties. Four modes: basic occupancy, hotel (room nights & RevPAR), two-period comparator, and occupancy target solver.

Educational note: this calculator is a learning aid for understanding occupancy-rate computation. The figures produced are arithmetic illustrations, not assessments of a property's performance.

Basic Occupancy

Computes the percentage of occupied units out of total available units.

Example: a boarding-house room currently rented.
All available units, including vacant ones.

How the calculation works

Educational note: the interpretation bands (low, medium, high, very high) are only descriptive labels for reading figures, not hospitality or property industry standards.

Frequently asked questions

What is occupancy rate?

Occupancy rate is the percentage of occupied units or rooms out of total available units in a period. This metric is commonly used for hotels, boarding houses, apartments, and rental properties. The basic formula: (occupied units ÷ total units) × 100%.

How do you calculate occupancy rate?

Divide occupied units by total units, then multiply by 100%. Example: a boarding house has 80 occupied rooms out of 100 → (80 ÷ 100) × 100% = 80%. The calculator accepts decimal figures (e.g. 93.33).

How do you calculate hotel occupancy rate using room nights?

For hotels, divide room nights sold by room nights available. Room nights available = rooms × days. Example: 1,400 room nights sold from 50 rooms over 30 days → available = 50 × 30 = 1,500; occupancy = (1,400 ÷ 1,500) × 100% = 93.33%.

What is RevPAR and how do you calculate it?

RevPAR (revenue per available room) is revenue per available room, computed as occupancy × ADR (average daily rate). Example: 93.33% occupancy with ADR Rp500,000 → RevPAR = 0.9333 × 500,000 = Rp466,666.67. In this calculator RevPAR is a derived figure (bonus), not a separate measuring tool.

What occupancy rate is considered good?

There is no universal standard figure for all property types. Reasonable figures differ by location, market segment, and season. This calculator's interpretation bands (low, medium, high, very high) are only descriptive labels for reading figures, not industry standards.

How do you compare occupancy rates of two periods?

Compute each period's occupancy with the same formula, then compute the difference in percentage points. Example: period A 80% and period B 86.36% → a difference of 6.36 percentage points, meaning period B is higher.

How do you calculate the units needed to reach a target occupancy?

Multiply the target occupancy by total units, then round up since units cannot be fractional. Example: an 85% target of 120 units → 0.85 × 120 = 102 units must be occupied, so at most 18 units may be vacant.
