  • The bottom rate allows you to set the limit below which it no longer pays to sell a room, consequently it helps you not to lose money.

    At the same time, knowing it also allows you to derive the higher prices with greater awareness and confidence.

  • The bottom rate is calculated from the average marginal cost per room. To this value, you add the markup that you deem the minimum essential to ensure the economic viability of your business.

    Thanks to our Excel table, you can do these calculations much more quickly and intuitively.

  • You will need to keep these data at hand: number of rooms, days open, total rooms occupied in a year, total variable costs, and total fixed costs. If you need a hand in accurately calculating variable costs and fixed costs, you can download our ready-made Excel file!
