Worked example

A 120-room hotel earns $3,200,000 of gross operating profit for the year. Available room nights = 120 × 365 = 43,800, so GOPPAR = $3,200,000 ÷ 43,800 = $73.06. On $8,000,000 of total revenue, the GOP margin = $3,200,000 ÷ $8,000,000 = 40%.

Frequently asked questions

What is GOPPAR?

GOPPAR is gross operating profit per available room. It equals gross operating profit divided by available room nights (rooms × days). A hotel with $3,200,000 of GOP and 120 rooms over 365 nights has a GOPPAR of $3,200,000 ÷ 43,800 = $73.06. It captures profitability per room, not just revenue.

How is GOPPAR different from RevPAR?

RevPAR (revenue per available room) measures top-line rooms revenue per available room. GOPPAR measures gross operating profit per available room, so it reflects both revenue and operating expenses across all departments. GOPPAR is a better read on how efficiently a hotel converts business into profit.

What is a good GOP margin for a hotel?

As of Q3 2026, GOP margins commonly run around 30% to 40% for economy and midscale select-service, 38% to 48% for upscale select-service, and 28% to 38% for full-service and upper-upscale hotels. Higher-rate, limited-service assets tend to carry the strongest margins.

How do you calculate available room nights?

Multiply the number of rooms by the number of days in the period: available room nights = rooms × days. For a full year, use 365 days, so a 120-room hotel has 120 × 365 = 43,800 available room nights.
