What this calculator helps you solve

Estimate hotel gross operating profit by subtracting operating expense groups from total operating revenue.

Inputs explained

  • Total operating revenue ($) — enter the value that applies to your operation or scenario.
  • Departmental expenses ($) — enter the value that applies to your operation or scenario.
  • Undistributed operating expenses ($) — enter the value that applies to your operation or scenario.
  • Other included operating costs ($) — enter the value that applies to your operation or scenario.

Formula and methodology

GOP = Total Operating Revenue − Departmental Expenses − Undistributed Operating Expenses − Other Included Operating Costs

Worked example

With $500,000 of operating revenue and $365,000 of included operating expenses, gross operating profit is $135,000.

How to interpret the result

Use GOP to compare operating performance before ownership-level, financing, tax, depreciation, or other items that your reporting framework excludes from hotel operating profit.

What to keep in mind

  • Hotel accounting definitions vary; align the entered cost groups with your property or reporting framework.
  • Do not compare GOP across properties unless the included and excluded expenses are defined consistently.
