Smart Insights & Methodology
What is Gross Operating Profit per Available Room (GOPPAR)?
Gross Operating Profit per Available Room (GOPPAR) is one of the most comprehensive performance metrics (KPIs) in the hotel and lodging industry. It measures your property's operational profitability by taking your Gross Operating Profit (GOP) and dividing it by the total available rooms over a specified timeframe.
Unlike RevPAR, which only measures room revenue, GOPPAR reflects actual profit because it takes all operational revenues (rooms, restaurant, bar, spa) and subtracts all operating expenses (wages, utility bills, commissions, laundry).
The Importance of GOPPAR for Hotel Profitability
GOPPAR is the ultimate metric for hotel owners and general managers because it indicates how efficiently the property is being operated. A hotel can have a high occupancy rate and a high RevPAR, but if its utility bills, labor costs, and OTA commissions are too high, its net profit will be low. GOPPAR highlights this instantly by focusing directly on the gross profit left over after paying all operating costs.
GOPPAR vs RevPAR
The key difference is scope. RevPAR (Revenue per Available Room) only considers room revenues and completely ignores costs. GOPPAR (Gross Operating Profit per Available Room) accounts for all revenue streams (rooms, food, drinks, events) and subtracts all operating expenses. GOPPAR provides a far more accurate representation of the property's financial health and true bottom-line success.
How is GOPPAR Calculated?
To calculate GOPPAR, you first need to determine your Gross Operating Profit (GOP). Subtract all operating expenses from your total gross revenue (rooms, food, beverages, extras). Once you have your GOP, divide it by the total number of available rooms during that same period.Gross Operating Profit (GOP) = Total Gross Revenue - Total Operating ExpensesGOPPAR = Gross Operating Profit (GOP) / Total Available Rooms
Examples of Hotel GOPPAR Calculations
Imagine a boutique hotel with 30 rooms, all available over a 30-day month (900 available room nights).
• Total Gross Revenue: €25,000 (including €20,000 room revenue and €5,000 from restaurant & bar).
• Total Operating Expenses: €11,500 (wages, utilities, OTA commissions, cleaning).
• Gross Operating Profit (GOP): €25,000 - €11,500 = €13,500.
• GOPPAR: €13,500 / 900 available room nights = €15 per available room.
What Affects Your GOPPAR?
GOPPAR is affected by both side of the balance sheet:
• Operating Revenues: Room sales, restaurant/bar sales, guest laundry services, tour commissions, spa bookings, and parking fees.
• Operating Expenses: Staff salaries and wages, energy and utility bills (electricity, water, heating), OTA commission fees, marketing expenses, food and beverage inventory costs, and software subscription fees.
The Importance of GOPPAR for Independent Lodging Businesses
For independent properties, guesthouses, and hostels, GOPPAR is the best metric to evaluate management performance. It shows whether your cost control measures are working. If your occupancy drops but you managed to reduce expenses (like laundry or energy costs), your GOPPAR might remain stable, proving efficient cost management.
How to Use GOPPAR in 2026
Use GOPPAR to evaluate the financial feasibility of pricing policies and capital improvements. For example, if you introduce an automated check-in system or PMS software like NOBEDS, your labor costs will drop, which will directly increase your GOPPAR. It is also an essential metric when negotiating with lenders or pitching to potential buyers.
