How does the system calculate the occupancy percentage on 14-Day Outlook?

The occupancy percentage on the Dashboard is different from your calendar. The Dashboard is considering a 14-day outlook, while the calendar displays this information per day.

Calculation: the number of units sold during this period divided by the number of total units times 100, and then divided by 14 days.

Example: Your property has 23 units [private rooms and/or beds on shared dorms]

  • inventory: 23 units
  • units sold during the given period: 15

Calculation:

15 / 23 = 0.65
0.65 x 100 = 65.21
65.21 / 14 = 4.65

Why does the occupancy on Dashboard not match with my Occupancy Report?

If you try to replicate your dashboard revenue or the occupancy percentage on your occupancy report, remember to filter for the exact same dates.
The revenue information should match but the occupancy percentage may be different. This is because the 14-Day Outlook counts rooms booked + calendar blocks, while the Occupancy Report counts rooms booked only.

Why does the availability on the Dashboard not reflect the data on the Calendar?
  • Availability on the Dashboard is taken from the Amount Allotted For Sale on the Availability Matrix - The number of rooms or beds that can be sold, this number can be manually adjusted.
  • The calendar shows the Remaining Inventory (the actual availability).
