RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Rental)

Also known as: revenue per available room · revenue per available night

RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room/Rental) is the revenue generated per available night (not per booked night). Calculated as ADR multiplied by occupancy rate, it's the most-used performance metric in hospitality and short-term rentals — it combines pricing and occupancy in a single comparable number.

Formula: RevPAR = ADR × Occupancy rate, or equivalently: Net accommodation revenue / Available nights. A property available 365 nights that booked 180 at CA$350: RevPAR = 350 × (180/365) = CA$173.

RevPAR makes it possible to compare a property booked expensively but often empty to a property booked cheaply but always full — whichever has the higher RevPAR earns more, regardless of headline ADR.

Reserver.ca optimizes RevPAR per cottage through dynamic pricing: raise the ADR on high-demand nights and lower it to fill the gaps, instead of chasing a vanity ADR.
