The theory

Understanding the Comparison.

This tool provides a direct comparison of net profit between your coworking operation (desks) and your hotel operation (rooms). It helps you understand which side of your hybrid model is performing better financially.

/ Formula

This is the net profit calculated as Total Revenue - Total Costs for each unit type. It's the most direct measure of profitability.

Desk/Room Profit = Total Revenue - Total Costs
/ Industry standard

Profit Margin: Calculated as (Net Profit / Total Revenue) * 100, the margin shows how much profit you make for every dollar of revenue. A higher margin indicates greater efficiency.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions.

Include direct costs associated with the coworking space: a portion of rent/mortgage based on square footage, utilities (internet, electricity), cleaning, staff salaries for community managers, and marketing costs specific to coworking.
Include direct costs for rooms: a portion of rent/mortgage, utilities, housekeeping salaries and supplies, front desk staff salaries, laundry, and marketing costs specific to room bookings.
No, this tool focuses on overall profitability. To analyze RevPSF, you would need a more detailed calculator where you input the square footage allocated to each area. This tool provides a high-level financial overview.
Not necessarily. Consider the strategic implications. Rooms might attract a different customer segment, and the hotel aspect might be a key reason coworking members choose your space. High desk profitability might suggest optimizing your desk pricing or membership tiers first.
This calculator is designed for a high-level comparison between the two main categories (desks vs. rooms). To compare a private office vs. a hot desk, or a standard room vs. a suite, you would need to run the calculations separately for each specific unit type.
