Current Occupancy Rate vs Average Nightly Rate

Occupancy Rate Analysis for Short-Term Rentals

Occupancy rate measures how efficiently your property generates bookings from available nights. It is the most important performance metric for short-term rental operators.

Formula

Occupancy Rate = Nights Booked / Nights Available x 100

Key Metrics

  • Occupancy Rate: Percentage of available nights that are booked
  • ADR (Average Daily Rate): Average revenue per booked night
  • RevPAN (Revenue Per Available Night): Total revenue divided by available nights, combining both occupancy and rate
  • Optimizing Occupancy

  • Lower rates during slow periods to fill gaps
  • Adjust minimum stays based on booking patterns
  • Respond quickly to inquiries (within 1 hour)
  • Maintain Superhost status for better visibility
  • Use professional photography and compelling descriptions
  • Balancing Rate vs. Occupancy

    Higher rates mean fewer bookings but more revenue per night. The goal is to maximize RevPAN, not just occupancy or rate alone.

    Example Calculation

    220 nights booked out of 350 available, $165 average nightly rate, with a target of 75% occupancy.

    1. 01Current occupancy: 220 / 350 = 62.9%
    2. 02Current revenue: 220 x $165 = $36,300
    3. 03Target nights: 350 x 75% = 262.5
    4. 04Target revenue: 262.5 x $165 = $43,313
    5. 05Revenue opportunity: $43,313 - $36,300 = $7,013
    6. 06Additional nights needed: 262.5 - 220 = 42.5
    7. 07RevPAN: $36,300 / 350 = $103.71
