## Short answer

Calculate your hotel's occupancy rate for any period: enter rooms, nights and room-nights sold, and get the percentage instantly. Free, no signup.

## Overview

The formula

Occupancy = room-nights sold ÷ room-nights available × 100, where room-nights available = rooms × nights in the period. A 40-room hotel over a 30-night month has 1,200 available room-nights; selling 880 of them is 73.3% occupancy.

Reading occupancy correctly

High occupancy is not automatically good news: if you fill the house at deeply discounted rates, RevPAR — occupancy × ADR — can be lower than running 70% at a healthy rate, with more cleaning and breakfast costs on top. Occupancy answers "how full"; pair it with ADR and RevPAR to answer "how profitably full".

## FAQ

### Do out-of-order rooms count as available?

Convention varies: most operators keep short-term out-of-order rooms in the denominator and only remove rooms taken offline long-term (renovations). Pick one convention and keep it consistent so trends stay meaningful.

### Is this tool really free?

Yes — every GuruHotel tool is free, with no signup and no usage limit. GuruHotel makes money helping hotels grow commission-free direct bookings, and these tools show you where that opportunity is.
