About this tool
Every booking platform shows you the cancel rate. Almost none show you the lost revenue from cancellations that didn\'t get resold in time.
This calculator does the math in 4 inputs. The honest number is usually 3–5x what operators expect — because the bookings that cancel are often peak-night, peak-room slots that don\'t get refilled at the same price.
How to use it
- 1 Enter average bookings per month.
- 2 Enter average booking value (€).
- 3 Set cancellation rate as % of bookings.
- 4 Estimate what % of cancellations get resold (typically 30–50%).
- 5 Read lost revenue per month, per year, plus what better policy + automation could recover.
What you get
- Honest losses — See the real annual cost of "we just got cancelled" — usually 3–5x what operators estimate.
- 4-input simplicity — No spreadsheet, no cohort analysis. Four numbers, instant answer.
- Recovery potential — Includes the upside of strict-but-fair policy + automated waitlist (typically 50% of lost revenue).
