GOPPAR & TRevPAR: Definition, Formulas & Example

GOPPAR (Gross Operating Profit per Available Room) measures the gross operating profit per available room, TRevPAR (Total Revenue per Available Room) the total revenue per available room — both based on all available room nights of a period, regardless of whether the rooms were sold. While RevPAR only looks at rooms revenue, TRevPAR and GOPPAR show what a hotel really earns across all departments — and how much of it remains as profit.

The formulas

TRevPAR = total revenue ÷ available room nights
GOPPAR  = gross operating profit (GOP) ÷ available room nights

The gross operating profit is the operating result before fixed charges such as rent/lease, depreciation, interest and taxes (per the USALI standard: total revenue minus departmental and undistributed operating expenses). Available room nights = number of rooms × days in the period.

Why GOPPAR and TRevPAR matter more than RevPAR alone

Available room nights = rooms × days. ADR = rooms revenue ÷ room nights sold. All values net and without guarantee — align with the definitions of your own reporting (e.g. USALI).

Example: two hotels compared

Hotel A (city hotel)Hotel B (resort with F&B/spa)
RevPAR€95€80
TRevPAR€110€155
GOPPAR€40€52

Judged by RevPAR, hotel A looks stronger — in fact hotel B generates significantly more revenue and profit per available room. This is exactly the distortion TRevPAR and GOPPAR correct.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between GOP and profit?

GOP is the operating result before fixed charges such as lease/rent, depreciation, interest and taxes. It measures how profitably the ongoing operation works — independent of financing and ownership structure.

Which KPI should a small property track first?

Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR as a basis — as soon as meaningful ancillary revenue (restaurant, external breakfast, wellness) comes in, add TRevPAR and GOPPAR monthly. The calculator above delivers all five from one data set.

What is a good GOPPAR value?

Strongly dependent on category, location and business model. More meaningful than industry benchmarks is the comparison with your own previous months and prior year — GOPPAR should develop at least in parallel with RevPAR.
