24 desks at 75 percent and 300 a month
The room has 24 desks. Occupancy is 75 percent, so 18 desks are taken. Each occupied desk pays 300 for the month. The 75 percent and the 300 are an example. The STR glossary does not publish a coworking rate.
Desks: 25% lower
Change desks to 18 desks while keeping the other example values the same.
Desks: 25% higher
Change desks to 30 desks while keeping the other example values the same.

Quick answer
What does the Coworking desk revenue calculate?
What do these desks collect at this monthly occupancy? This calculator uses desks, occupancy, and monthly rate per occupied desk to estimate desks times occupancy times the monthly rate immediately in your browser.
With the values currently entered, the result is $5,400.00 — from the occupied desks this month. It also shows occupied desks, revenue per available desk, a year of this same month, and revenue at 100 percent occupancy.
How to use the Coworking desk revenue
- Replace the example values with your own numbers.
- Review the result and supporting figures as they update automatically.
- Check the formula and assumptions before using the estimate for a decision.
Inputs used
- Desks — entered in desks
- Occupancy — entered in %
- Monthly rate per occupied desk
Coworking desk revenue formula
Monthly revenue = desks × occupancy × monthly rate. Revenue per available desk = occupancy × monthly rate.
Assumptions
- CoStar’s STR glossary defines revenue per available room as room revenue divided by rooms available, which equals occupancy times the average rate. Occupancy is rooms sold divided by rooms available. This page uses that identity on desks. Monthly revenue equals desks times the occupancy you type times the monthly rate you type.
- IRS Publication 334 counts the amounts a business takes in as gross receipts. The occupancy and the rate are an example, not a coworking survey and not a figure from the glossary. A room night and a monthly membership are different periods, so the rate box is one month.

Practical guide
Coworking desk revenue example and edge cases
Coworking desk revenue is what the occupied desks collect in a month. STR writes hotel revenue per available room as occupancy times the average rate. Here the unit is a desk, and the rate is the monthly membership you type.
Example: 24 desks at 75 percent and 300 a month
The room has 24 desks. Occupancy is 75 percent, so 18 desks are taken. Each occupied desk pays 300 for the month. The 75 percent and the 300 are an example. The STR glossary does not publish a coworking rate.

Calculated result$5,400.00from the occupied desks this month
Monthly revenue is 5,400. A year of this same month is 64,800. Revenue per available desk is 225, because 75 percent of 300 is 225. Filling all 24 desks at 300 would collect 7,200.
Example results use the default display profile. The calculator above follows your selected country and units.
How to read the result
- Read the 5,400 first. It is 18 desks times 300. The 18 is 75 percent of 24. The 225 is the same occupancy applied to the rate, which is the STR identity for one available desk.
- The occupancy rate revenue calculator starts from a count of occupied units. This page starts from the desks and a percent, then fills the count. Billable hours are a different denominator, on the billable utilization calculator.
Edge cases worth checking
Memberships outnumber the desks
Hot desks can sell more memberships than seats. Type an occupancy above 100 when that is the plan. At 125 percent, these 24 desks count as 30 occupied, and monthly revenue becomes 9,000. The per-desk line becomes 375, which is 125 percent of 300.
The rate is a day pass
The year line multiplies the month by 12. A 300 day pass in the rate box becomes 3,600 on that line, which is not a year of day passes. Put a monthly price in the rate box, or ignore the year line and read the first result as one period.

Desks
Change desks on its own first. This shows how strongly it affects the answer.
Occupancy
Test a lower and higher occupancy. A small percentage change can move the final result more than expected.
Monthly rate per occupied desk
Test a lower and higher monthly rate per occupied desk. A small percentage change can move the final result more than expected.

Common mistakes
Check desks
CoStar’s STR glossary defines revenue per available room as room revenue divided by rooms available, which equals occupancy times the average rate. Occupancy is rooms sold divided by rooms available. This page uses that identity on desks. Monthly revenue equals desks times the occupancy you type times the monthly rate you type. Make sure this matches the number you enter.
Keep monthly rate per occupied desk consistent
IRS Publication 334 counts the amounts a business takes in as gross receipts. The occupancy and the rate are an example, not a coworking survey and not a figure from the glossary. A room night and a monthly membership are different periods, so the rate box is one month. Use the same units and time period throughout the calculation.
Do not rely on one coworking desk revenue scenario
Run a cautious case and an optimistic case. The range is often more useful than one exact-looking number.
