How to Use This Cash Flow Calculator

Enter your monthly revenue — the cash actually collected each month, not just invoiced. For hotel businesses, revenue comes from Room revenue (ADR × occupancy), Food & beverage, Meeting & event space. Use an average month or run the calculation for both peak and slow months.

Enter your total monthly expenses — everything that leaves your bank account. Include Labor (rooms, F&B, front office), Cost of F&B sold, OTA & marketing commissions, Utilities & property maintenance, plus loan payments and any other recurring costs.

Cash Flow Calculator for Hotel Businesses

Cash flow management is the difference between a hotel business that survives and one that thrives. Even profitable businesses fail when they run out of cash — a common scenario when revenue is seasonal, customers pay late, or a large expense hits unexpectedly. This calculator gives you a clear picture of your monthly cash position and how long your reserves will last.

Business hotels peak weekdays and Q1/Q3; leisure properties peak summer and holidays. January is typically slowest for both segments. Understanding these patterns is critical for hotel businesses. Build cash reserves during peak months to cover fixed costs during slower periods. Key costs like Labor (rooms, F&B, front office), Cost of F&B sold, OTA & marketing commissions don't stop during slow months, so your cash reserves need to bridge the gap.
