GOPPAR Calculator
Gross Operating Profit Per Available Room
Measure Your Hotel’s Profitability Per Room.
Use this free GOPPAR calculator to understand how much actual profit your hotel earns from every available room — not just revenue.
What is GOPPAR?
GOPPAR, which stands for Gross Operating Profit Per Available Room, is a financial performance metric used in hospitality to measure how efficiently a hotel turns revenue into profit across all available rooms.
Unlike RevPAR, which only considers room revenue, GOPPAR includes all revenue sources — such as food and beverage, spa, and other services — and subtracts operating expenses. This makes it one of the most comprehensive profitability metrics available for hoteliers, providing insight into both top-line performance and cost control.
By tracking GOPPAR regularly, hotel managers and owners can better assess operational efficiency, compare properties, and make smarter business decisions that improve overall profitability.
GOPPAR Formula
The standard formula for calculating GOPPAR is:
GOPPAR =
Gross Operating Profit
Total Available Rooms
To apply this, you first determine your gross operating profit — which is your total hotel revenue minus all operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization). Then divide that profit by the number of rooms available over the period being analyzed.
For example, if your hotel has 100 rooms and you’re analyzing a 30-day month, you would divide by 3,000 available room nights. The result shows how much profit your property is generating per room, regardless of whether the room was sold.
Why GOPPAR Matters in Hotel Management
GOPPAR is critical because it doesn’t just measure how much revenue a hotel earns — it shows how much profit is actually being retained after covering operating costs. This makes GOPPAR especially important for owners, investors, and finance teams who need a clear picture of a property’s financial health.
While RevPAR and ADR tell you how much money is coming in from room sales, they ignore expenses. GOPPAR brings cost management into the equation, helping identify whether increased revenue is truly translating into bottom-line growth. It also helps spotlight inefficiencies in operations that might be eating away at profitability, even during high-occupancy periods.
GOPPAR vs RevPAR and TRevPAR
While RevPAR and TRevPAR focus on revenue, GOPPAR focuses on profitability. RevPAR looks at room revenue per available room, and TRevPAR expands that to include total property revenue. However, neither of them considers expenses. That’s where GOPPAR sets itself apart. It tells you what’s left after the bills are paid.
Two hotels might have similar RevPAR, but if one operates more efficiently, its GOPPAR will be higher — and that makes a real difference to owners and stakeholders. GOPPAR is especially useful when comparing hotels with different business models or departmental revenue structures.
