Revenue & the room

RevPASH Calculator

What is each seat earning me per hour it is open?

Average check rewards big spenders. Covers reward volume. RevPASH is the measure that catches both at once, because it divides revenue by the seat-hours you actually had available to sell. It comes out of the Cornell School of Hotel Administration's revenue-management work.

The answer

RevPASH

$18.22

$9,400 across 516 seat hours

  • Available seat hours516
  • Revenue per seat, whole period$109.30
  • Revenue per hour$1,566.67
  • Average check$37.90
  • Seat turns over the periodCovers divided by seats. How many times the average seat was filled.2.88
  • Covers per hour41.33
RevPASH is most useful compared against itself. Run it by day and by hour to find which service periods your room is actually paying for.
03 Show the arithmetic
Available seat hours = seats in service × hours open
RevPASH = revenue ÷ available seat hours
04 What the answer leaves out
  • Count seats you genuinely had in service. Including a closed patio understates RevPASH and hides the real result.
  • There is no universal target. RevPASH is a comparison metric: this Friday against last Friday, this room against that room.
