How the math works

Savings = (opt-out nights × labor per clean) − (opt-out nights × loyalty bonus value).

55k × 55% × $12 = $363k labor − 55k × 55% × $1.50 = $45k bonus = $318k net savings.

How to Use

  1. Enter occupied room nights.
  2. Enter opt-out rate %.
  3. Enter labor per clean.
  4. Enter loyalty bonus value.
  5. Read annual net savings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Opt-out cleaning programs?

Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG implemented 2020–2022. Default: cleaning on departure only or every 3 days. Guest can request daily. Loyalty bonus typical: 250–500 points/night to opt out. Result: 15–30% labor savings. Backlash: GSS scores dropped 5–15 points first 12 months, recovering as guest expectation reset. Tipping policy: most properties moved to per-stay tip envelope vs daily. Premium tier (luxury): daily cleaning still standard.

How does this support hotel underwriting?

Hotel investors and operators use this calculator alongside RevPAR, GOP, and flow-through analysis to validate operating assumptions. Pair it with a comp set benchmark (STR or HotStats data), brand/franchise standards, and seasonal demand patterns. Output is most useful when triangulated against trailing twelve-month financials and a forward booking pace report.

Brand vs independent treatment?

Branded hotels (Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, Choice, Wyndham) typically follow USALI 11th edition reporting which dictates how this metric flows through the P&L. Independent and lifestyle hotels have flexibility but most lenders still expect USALI-aligned reporting. Use brand standards or local CVB data when defaults aren't representative of your asset.

Seasonal sensitivity?

Inputs based on annual averages mask peak/shoulder/trough volatility. Resort properties may see 60–80% of annual revenue concentrated in 4–6 months. Urban transient is more even but dips for weekends. Model peak month, shoulder month, and trough month separately if seasonality exceeds 20% swing. Stress test with a 10–15% RevPAR shock for cycle planning.
