RevPAR (revenue per available night)

Also called RevPAR, Revpar, revenue per available night, revenue per available room. Last reviewed Oct 21, 2026 by Jeremy Werden

RevPAR, revenue per available room or night, is a rental's revenue divided by the nights it was available to book, so it combines nightly rate and occupancy in one figure: a home averaging $200 a night at 60% occupancy has a RevPAR of $120. BNBCalc Markets shows it on market pages and for each listing.

RevPAR = revenue ÷ nights available, which equals ADR × occupancy rate

RevPAR vs ADR: what's the difference?

ADR, the average daily rate, divides revenue by the nights that were booked, so it tells you what guests paid for a night. RevPAR divides the same revenue by every night that was available, so empty nights pull it down. That makes RevPAR the better measure of how much a home earns from the nights it offers.

Take two homes: one charges $250 a night and books 40% of its open nights, for a RevPAR of $100, while the other charges $180 and books 70%, for a RevPAR of $126. The cheaper home earns more for each night it's open, even though its rate is lower.

Where does BNBCalc show RevPAR?

  • The Revpar card on a market's Marketwide Stats tab averages the last 12 months. Each month's figure is the market's revenue per night that listings were open to book, cleaning included. Because each card averages its own monthly figures, multiplying the Avg daily rate card by the Occupancy rate card won't give you exactly the Revpar card.
  • Each listing's details show its RevPAR under Past 12 months, its revenue per night it was open.
  • Printed property analysis reports show RevPAR as the analysis's daily rate × occupancy.

The change line under the Revpar card compares two 12-month periods without adjusting for changes in how the market data was measured over the years, so it isn't reliable as a growth rate.

What's a good RevPAR for an Airbnb?

A good RevPAR is at or above what homes like yours earn per open night nearby, at costs that still leave you cash flow. RevPAR only means something next to comparable homes, so in a BNBCalc analysis, compare your daily rate × occupancy with the comps around your address rather than with a figure from another market. And since RevPAR stops at revenue, a high one in a market with high costs can still leave little profit, which is why the analysis's cash flow has the last word.
