GOPPAR calculator
Gross operating profit per available room
Calculate your hotel’s GOPPAR in seconds. This free tool shows the profit, not just the revenue, that each available room is generating, and where margin is leaking between RevPAR and the bottom line.

GOPPAR = Gross Operating Profit ÷ Available Rooms
What is GOPPAR?
GOPPAR (Gross Operating Profit per Available Room) is the profitability twin of RevPAR. It divides gross operating profit, not revenue, by the number of available rooms, and is the metric that owners, GMs and finance teams care about most.
GOPPAR includes every revenue stream (rooms, F&B, spa, ancillary) and subtracts every operating cost (labour, supplies, utilities, distribution). It’s the single number that exposes whether a hotel is actually making money on the inventory it sells, or just running revenue through the door.
GOPPAR formula
Formula
GOPPAR = Gross Operating Profit ÷ Available Rooms
- Gross operating profit
- Total revenue minus operating expenses, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA-adjacent).
- Available rooms
- Total sellable room-nights in the period (room count × days), excluding rooms taken offline.
Why GOPPAR matters
A hotel can grow RevPAR every quarter while GOPPAR stagnates. It just means costs are growing in lockstep with revenue. GOPPAR is what tells you whether a top-line win is actually flowing to the bottom line.
Owners and asset managers anchor on GOPPAR because it’s the most honest like-for-like comparison across properties of different size, market and category. Two hotels with similar RevPAR but different operational discipline will show very different GOPPAR, and that’s the gap that decides which property is worth investing in.
GOPPAR vs RevPAR vs TRevPAR
- RevPAR: room revenue per available room. Top-line, rooms-only.
- TRevPAR: total revenue per available room. Top-line, every revenue stream.
- GOPPAR: gross operating profit per available room. Bottom-line, everything in.
You need all three. RevPAR tells you what rooms earned. TRevPAR tells you whether ancillary is doing real work. GOPPAR tells you whether any of it survived the cost base.
Strategies to improve GOPPAR
- Reduce cost-per-occupied-room (CPOR) with smarter housekeeping routing and labour scheduling.
- Trim low-margin distribution channels (high-commission opaque, wholesale at peak) and shift volume direct.
- Shift segment mix toward higher-contribution segments (direct leisure, corporate negotiated) and away from net-rate intermediaries.
- Lift ancillary revenue (paid upgrades, late checkout, F&B credit packages) where the marginal cost is low.
- Re-bid energy and laundry contracts annually. These are usually the largest variable cost lines.
Common questions about GOPPAR.
There’s no universal benchmark. GOPPAR depends on category, market, asset cost base and segment mix. The number that matters is your GOPPAR vs your forecast, vs last year, and as a share of TRevPAR (the GOP margin).
