1. What is the RevPAR Index?

The RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) Index measures a hotel's revenue performance relative to its competitive set. It indicates the percentage of market revenue that a property captures compared to its competitors.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the RevPAR Index formula:

\[ \text{RevPAR Index} = \left( \frac{\text{Hotel RevPAR}}{\text{Competitive Set RevPAR}} \right) \times 100 \]

Where:

$ \text{Hotel RevPAR} $ — Your hotel's revenue per available room ($)
$ \text{Competitive Set RevPAR} $ — Average RevPAR of your competitive set ($)

Explanation: A RevPAR Index of 100 means you're capturing exactly your fair share of market revenue. Values above 100 indicate outperformance, while values below 100 indicate underperformance.

3. Importance of RevPAR Index Calculation

Details: The RevPAR Index is a crucial performance metric in the hotel industry that helps property managers assess their competitive position, set pricing strategies, and measure the effectiveness of revenue management decisions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your hotel's RevPAR and the competitive set's average RevPAR in dollars. Both values must be positive numbers. The result shows your market share percentage.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a good RevPAR Index value?
A: A value of 100 represents market parity. Values above 100 indicate you're capturing more than your fair share of market revenue, while values below 100 suggest underperformance.

Q2: How often should I calculate my RevPAR Index?
A: Most hotels calculate this metric daily, weekly, and monthly to track performance trends and respond quickly to market changes.

Q3: What factors can affect my RevPAR Index?
A: Pricing strategy, occupancy levels, market demand, competitive positioning, seasonality, and special events can all impact your RevPAR Index.

Q4: How does RevPAR Index differ from market penetration index?
A: RevPAR Index measures revenue performance, while market penetration index (MPI) measures occupancy performance. Both are important metrics for complete performance analysis.

Q5: Can I have a high RevPAR but low RevPAR Index?
A: Yes, this can happen if your competitors are performing exceptionally well. Your absolute RevPAR might be good, but relative to the competition, you're underperforming.
