ADR (Average daily rate)
ADR (average daily rate) is the average price paid per booked night: room revenue divided by nights booked. It counts only nights that sold, so it says nothing about empty nights. Operators read ADR with occupancy rate, or combine the two as RevPAR, to judge whether a short-term rental will cover its rent.
Formula
ADR = room revenue ÷ nights booked
Example
A unit earning $4,950 over 30 booked nights has an ADR of $165.
