What does TRevPAG stand for?

Total revenue per actual guest. BrandMatch uses 'actual' rather than 'available' deliberately: a hotel can count the guests who stayed, but there is no reliable way to count guests who were merely available.

How do you calculate TRevPAG?

Divide total hotel revenue for a period – rooms, F&B, spa, retail, ancillary and partnership income – by the number of people who stayed in that same period. A couple on a three-night break counts as two guests, not one booking or three room nights.

Does TRevPAG count people or stays?

People. The denominator is the number of individual guests who stayed, not bookings, stays or room nights. A couple on a three-night break adds two guests. That keeps the metric anchored to the person a brand partner actually reaches.

What is the difference between TRevPAR and TRevPAG?

Both use total revenue. TRevPAR divides it by available room nights, so it judges the building. TRevPAG divides it by actual guests, so it judges the guest relationship – which is where brand partnership revenue shows up.

Why does TRevPAG matter for brand partnerships?

Partnership income – placement licences, affiliate commission, concession fees – rarely touches room revenue. Measured per room it disappears into the noise; measured per guest it becomes a visible, comparable uplift your commercial team can target.

TRevPAG: total revenue per actual guest

TRevPAG (total revenue per actual guest) is a hotel's total revenue across every department – rooms, F&B, spa, retail and partnership income – divided by the number of people who actually stayed in the same period – counted as guests, not bookings or room nights. It measures what each real guest is worth, which per-room metrics such as RevPAR and TRevPAR cannot show.

The formula

TRevPAG = total hotel revenue ÷ people who actually stayed

Total revenue means every department in the same period: rooms, F&B, spa, retail, ancillary and partnership income. Guests means people, not bookings or room nights – a couple on a three-night break counts as two.

Why “actual”, not “available”?

Some industry glossaries expand the acronym as total revenue per available guest. Look at the formulas they publish, though, and the denominator is almost always the guests who stayed. You cannot count a guest who was merely available – so why name the metric after one?

And the confusion runs deeper. Depending on the source, the related RevPAG metric divides room revenue only, or total revenue, by guests. A metric with three definitions is not a metric your owners, asset managers and brand partners can benchmark against. BrandMatch uses one definition, consistently: total revenue, divided by actual guests.

A worked example

A hotel records €6,000,000 in total revenue over a year and hosts 24,000 guests – people, not bookings. Its TRevPAG is €6,000,000 ÷ 24,000 = €250.

It then adds a brand partnership worth €84,000 a year. Room revenue does not move, so RevPAR does not move. TRevPAG rises by €84,000 ÷ 24,000 = €3.50 per guest – a number the commercial team can set a target against and report on.

Illustrative figures to show the arithmetic.

TRevPAG vs RevPAR, TRevPAR and RevPAG

Metric	Divides	By	Tells you
RevPAR	Room revenue	Available room nights	How well you sell rooms
TRevPAR	Total revenue	Available room nights	How hard each room works across all departments
RevPAG	Varies by source – sometimes room revenue only	Guests	Guest value, but defined inconsistently
TRevPAG	Total revenue	People who actually stayed	What each real guest is worth, including partnership income

Why per-room metrics hide partnership revenue

Room rate and F&B still anchor how hotels report performance. But brand partnership income – a placement licence, affiliate commission on wearables, a spa retail concession – lands outside the room line. Spread across available room nights, it barely registers. Measured per guest, it becomes a clear, comparable uplift.

So the question for commercial leaders is simple: are you managing the room, or the guest?
