CPOR = C / OR
  • Where CPOR is the cost per occupied room ($/room)
  • C is the total cost to run the hotel/apartment complex ($)
  • OR is the number of occupied rooms

To calculate the cost per occupied room, divide the operation costs of the building by the number of occupied rooms.

Next, determine the number of occupied rooms. On average, this hotel has 40 rooms occupied.

Finally, calculate the cost per occupied room using the formula above:

CPOR = C / #OR

CPOR = $4,000 / 40

CPOR = $100.00 /room
