RevPAB Calculator
Compute coliving's most diagnostic operating KPI in 60 seconds. RevPAB, ADR, occupancy, and a benchmark band against industry data, single source of truth for the metric every investor asks about.
Inputs
Bed count, not unit count. Coliving prices per bed.
Use 30 for monthly RevPAB, 365 for annual.
Max: 1500
All-in: rent + ancillary services.
Monthly RevPAB
€1,300
per bed per month, at this run-rate

ADR (per occupied bed-night)
€47
Occupancy rate
93.0%
Annualised revenue
€790,833
Benchmark
Solid mid-market
€1,300/bed/month at 93% occupancy is healthy mid-market performance. Look for pricing optimisation as your next 5-15% upside.

Why RevPAB is the single most diagnostic coliving metric
Most operators track occupancy. Some track ADR. Almost none multiply them, and that's the gap. Occupancy at 95% sounds great until you discover your average daily rate dropped 18% to get there. ADR holding firm at €60/night sounds great until you discover occupancy slipped to 72%. RevPAB collapses both into a single number that survives the spin.
Investors know this. Knight Frank's European Coliving Report 2024 leads with RevPAB benchmarks. Coliving Insights' European Index 2025 reports portfolio-level RevPAB across operators. If you walk into a fundraise quoting average occupancy, sophisticated capital will translate it into RevPAB themselves and ask why you didn't.
The tool above gives you a clean RevPAB plus the verification math (ADR × occupancy must equal RevPAB, if not, your inputs are wrong) plus an industry benchmark band. Run it monthly. Track the trend. Compare across properties. The operators we advise who treat RevPAB as their primary KPI consistently outperform peers who don't.
The 5 RevPAB mistakes that hide in operator decks
Reporting averages without the trend
A 12-month average RevPAB is meaningless if 9 months are strong and 3 months are catastrophic. Plot the monthly trend. The slope matters more than the level.
Comparing against the wrong benchmark
London RevPAB is not Lisbon RevPAB. Match your benchmark band to your city tier and product positioning. The tool's bands are calibrated for European urban mid-market, premium and emerging-market properties have different scales.
Confusing gross revenue with RevPAB-relevant revenue
Include rent, utilities markup, and ancillary services that residents pay for. Exclude security deposits (liability, not revenue), one-off setup fees, and non-resident revenue. Sloppy revenue definitions inflate RevPAB by 5-10% and get caught in diligence.
Forgetting to exclude offline beds
If 5 beds are offline for renovation for 2 months, treating them as available beds drags RevPAB down artificially. Exclude long-term offline beds from the denominator. Most credible operators do, make sure you do too.
Not segmenting by room type
Mixing private ensuites with shared bunk rooms in one RevPAB number hides which rooms are pulling weight and which are dragging. Run the calculation per room type once a quarter.
