Hotel Financial Ratio & Benchmark Analysis Toolkit: Hotel Financial Ratio Analysis Excel with Benchmark Bands and Red Flags
Full description
For financial controllers, general managers, owners' representatives and auditors who review a hotel's health once a month or once a year. Enter a summary P&L for three years and the balance sheet at four year-ends; the workbook computes 40 ratios across liquidity, solvency and debt, efficiency, profitability, departmental margins, payroll, cost per occupied room and energy, and FF&E reserve. Each ratio shows its numerator, denominator and multiplier per year, so every figure can be traced. You set a target band per ratio from your budget, owner targets or peer set; the Scorecard gives a Green, Amber or Red status, a direction-aware 3-year trend and a plain explanation of what the ratio tells you. Roll-forward checks reconcile retained earnings, fixed assets and debt between the two statements.

FAQ
Which ratios are included?
40 ratios in 8 groups: liquidity, solvency and debt (including DSCR), efficiency, profitability, departmental margins, payroll, cost and energy, and FF&E reserve.
Can I change the target bands?
Yes. Each ratio has a blue low and high limit. Leave one blank for a one-sided target. The amber tolerance sits on Settings.
What if I only have two years of data?
Leave the oldest year blank. Ratios for that year show blank, and the trend shows blank until three years are entered.
How is the trend judged?
It compares the current year with the oldest year and respects the direction of each ratio, so a falling cost ratio shows Improving.
Does it need macros or add-ins?
No. Every result is a standard worksheet formula.
