About Housekeeping Minutes Per Room Calculator

Housekeeping productivity is measured in minutes per room, but the fair target depends on the departure mix, because a departure clean takes roughly a third longer than a stayover service. Adjusting the target for the day's mix is what makes the variance a genuine performance measure rather than a reflection of the arrivals pattern.

Formulas

Minutes per room

Minutes per room = Housekeeping hours x 60 / Rooms cleaned

Mix-adjusted target

Adjusted target = Target minutes x (1 + Departure share x 35%)

Rooms per shift

Rooms per shift = 450 productive minutes / Minutes per room

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a normal credit time?

Around 25-30 minutes for a stayover and 35-45 for a departure in a mid-scale hotel, longer in luxury properties with turndown service.

Why does the departure mix matter?

Because departure cleans take substantially longer. A day with a high departure share needs more hours for the same room count.
