Understanding GOPPAR
How we calculate. GOPPAR = GOP ÷ rooms available. See our methodology and accuracy policy .
Real-world scenario: A typical GOPPAR case uses gross operating profit 40000 and rooms available 200. Enter the same figures below to reproduce the worked path.
What is GOPPAR?
A profit productivity KPI complementary to RevPAR. Distinct from ADR and from simple tip or margin calculators on the Business hub.
- GOP = per Uniform System / brand P&L
- Rooms available matches RevPAR denominator
- Period aligned to financial close
The Formula
Worked Example
Common Use Cases
- Owner reports: profit per room
- Asset reviews: GOPPAR vs RevPAR
- Budget vs actual: profit productivity
Pro Tips
- Freeze GOP definition (USALI)
- Don’t use rooms sold as denominator
- Pair with RevPAR for revenue vs profit
| Scenario | When to use |
|---|---|
| Percent of a number | Finding a part of a whole (tax, tip, score) |
| Percent change | Comparing old vs new values |
Limitations: GOPPAR results are educational hotel and restaurant planning aids—not accounting, tax, or franchise reporting advice. Confirm definitions with your PMS, POS, and brand standards.
Common mistakes
- Swapping part and whole: The denominator must be the full total, not a subset.
- Rounding too early: Carry extra decimal places through multi-step work before rounding the final percent.
- Mixing percent and decimal forms: Enter rates in the format the calculator labels expect.
