ADR Calculator

Average daily rate, or ADR, tells you how much revenue each sold room brings in on average. It is a core hotel KPI and pairs well with occupancy rate. This page also keeps the formula, examples, FAQs, and references close by so you can check the result with confidence.

What This ADR Calculator Helps You Do

ADR equals room revenue divided by rooms sold; the estimated version uses monthly revenue divided by 30 and then divided by rooms in the property. Review the formula and examples below if you want to see how the result is derived.

This page is meant to give you a fast answer, but it also helps you double-check the math before you make a decision. Start with the inputs that you already know, run the calculation, and then compare the output with the formula, examples, and FAQs below so you can see whether the answer fits the situation you are modeling.

If the result looks off, the usual causes are a unit mismatch, a missing decimal, the wrong scenario, or a value that needs to be entered as a rate instead of a total. The notes on this page are designed to make those checks easy without forcing you to leave the calculator and search for context elsewhere.

  • Use the calculator first for a quick estimate.
  • Use the formula to understand how the result is built.
  • Use the examples to compare common use cases.
  • Use the references when the answer depends on a standard or assumption.

Common Checks

A quick result is useful, but the best result is one that still makes sense when you look at it a second time. If you are comparing scenarios, try changing one input at a time so you can see which variable has the biggest impact on the final answer. That makes it much easier to spot whether the calculation matches your expectations.

It also helps to keep the context of the problem in mind. A calculator can tell you the math, but you still need to decide whether the input represents a total, a rate, an average, or a category-specific assumption. When in doubt, start with a simple example from the page and scale up from there.

  • Check that every unit matches the rest of the problem.
  • Keep rates, totals, and averages separate.
  • Adjust one variable at a time when testing scenarios.
  • Use the smallest realistic input first, then scale upward.

Scenario Planning

This calculator is especially useful when you want a quick answer before you commit time, money, or effort. Try one baseline input set, then change a single number and compare the result so you can see how sensitive the answer is to that variable.

That makes the page useful for more than just arithmetic. It becomes a small decision aid that helps you compare options, test assumptions, and explain the final number with confidence when you need to share it with someone else.

Quick Answer: ADR equals room revenue divided by rooms sold; the estimated version uses monthly revenue divided by 30 and then divided by rooms in the property. Review the formula and examples below if you want to see how the result is derived.

How to Calculate ADR Calculator

  1. Choose the method: Use actual ADR if you know room revenue and rooms sold, or estimated ADR if you want a quick planning figure.
  2. Enter the revenue data: Fill in the values that match the selected method.
  3. Read the ADR: The result is the average amount earned per sold room.

ADR Calculator Formula

ADR = room revenue / rooms sold
Variable Meaning Unit
Room revenue Revenue from sold rooms in the selected period $
Rooms sold Number of sold room nights rooms

Worked Examples

USA - Actual ADR
  • Room revenue: $2,558,000
  • Rooms sold: 18,047

Result: $141.74

This is the average rate per sold room-night.

UK - Estimated ADR
  • Monthly room revenue: £426,000
  • Rooms in property: 100

Result: £142.00

The estimated method gives a fast planning value when full occupancy assumptions are not needed.

EU - Smaller property
  • Room revenue: €75,000
  • Rooms sold: 600

Result: €125.00

A smaller property can still have strong ADR if room pricing is healthy.

How to Interpret Your Results

Range Meaning Action
Low ADR Rooms are sold at a lower average rate Check pricing, channel mix, and discount strategy.
Moderate ADR Rates are in a typical planning range Compare against occupancy and RevPAR.
High ADR Rooms are sold at a higher average rate Make sure occupancy stays strong enough to support revenue.

Frequently Asked Questions
