What is GOPPAR?
GOPPAR (Gross Operating Profit Per Available Room) measures how much profit — not just revenue — each room in your property generates, whether it's occupied or not. It's calculated as GOPPAR = Gross Operating Profit ÷ (Available Rooms × Nights), where Gross Operating Profit (GOP) is Total Revenue minus Total Operating Expenses. Unlike RevPAR or TRevPAR, which only track money coming in, GOPPAR shows what's actually left after payroll, utilities, supplies, and everything else it costs to run the property. Two hotels can post the same RevPAR and still have very different GOPPAR if one runs leaner on expenses.
How to calculate GOPPAR
It's a two-step calculation: find your gross operating profit, then spread it across your available room-nights.
- →Gross Operating Profit (GOP) = Total Revenue − Total Operating Expenses — e.g. $180,000 in total revenue minus $120,000 in operating expenses = $60,000 GOP.
- →GOPPAR = GOP ÷ (Available Rooms × Nights) — for a 50-room hotel over 30 nights (1,500 available room-nights), $60,000 ÷ 1,500 = $40 GOPPAR.
GOPPAR vs TRevPAR vs RevPAR
RevPAR
Room revenue ÷ available rooms. The classic benchmark — but it ignores other income and every cost.
TRevPAR
Total revenue (room + other guest revenue) ÷ available rooms. Wider than RevPAR, but still a pure revenue number.
GOPPAR
Gross operating profit ÷ available rooms. What's actually left after expenses — the only one of the three that measures profitability.
Tracking GOPPAR by hand means pulling expenses from your accounting system every month and reconciling them against revenue yourself. InnSyst's Analytics brings your revenue and cost data together automatically, so you can watch GOPPAR trend alongside RevPAR and TRevPAR in real time.
