Hotel Amenity Consumption Calculator
Enter your room count and occupancy to see how many slippers, dental kits and bottles a year of operation actually consumes — then the three-month stock to hold and the quantity worth quoting.
200 rooms × 75% occupancy × 365 nights = 54,750 occupied room nights per year
Property type City / business hotel: replacement factor × 1 → 54,750 effective room nights
× 1.5 guests per room = 82,125 guest nights per year — the basis for per-guest items
Per-guest items (slippers, dental kits, bottles) scale with guests per room; per-room items (cap, shaving, vanity) do not.
Suggested first order
Three months of cover, rounded up to our 5,000 pcs custom MOQ: 25,000 pairs of slippers, 25,000 dental kits, 15,000 shower caps. Items under 5,000 a quarter — usually shaving and vanity kits — can start as stock items by the carton until volume justifies a custom run.
How the calculation works
Occupied room nights = rooms × occupancy × 365 nights. Multiply by guests per occupied room to get guest nights. Two kinds of items sit behind that number: slippers, dental kits and 30 ml bottles are issued per guest, so a double room takes two of each; shower caps, shaving kits and vanity kits are issued per room and stay at one whether one guest checks in or two. Shaving and vanity kits run below one per night because most guests never open them. Shampoo and shower gel are counted as two 30 ml bottles per guest.
The output is a planning figure, not a measurement of your property. Three corrections usually apply: double occupancy scales the per-guest items, resorts with longer average stays need fewer replacements per night, and full-service hotels consume a further 8–15% in public areas, spas and staff facilities. All three are covered in the FAQ below.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this calculator?
It uses the same planning formula we publish in our consumption guide: occupied room nights multiplied by the number of items a room actually uses. The coefficients are industry planning figures, not measured data from your property — a business hotel replaces slippers and dental kits every night, while a resort with four-night average stays gets two or three nights out of the same pair. Run it for a quarter against real housekeeping numbers and adjust the occupancy figure until it matches; after that the projection holds.
Does it account for single and double rooms?
Yes, through the guests-per-occupied-room input. Most hotels average 1.4-1.7 guests, and it matters because the two groups behave differently: slippers, dental kits and 30 ml bottles are issued per guest, so a double room takes two of each; shower caps, shaving kits and vanity kits are issued per room and stay at one whether one guest sleeps there or two. Set the slider to your own housekeeping average rather than to the room mix on paper — a hotel with 70% double rooms rarely averages 2.0, because singles fill the rest.
Why does the calculator suggest 5,000 pcs when my quarterly need is smaller?
5,000 pcs per item is our custom-logo minimum, set by printing plates, cutting dies and line set-up rather than by sales targets. If your three-month need is below that, the honest route is to start with stock items by the carton — standard packaging, no logo — and move to a custom run once volume justifies the tooling. The calculator shows the real quarterly number; the order suggestion simply rounds it up to the custom minimum.
Should I order a full year at once?
Usually not in year one. Sea freight is cheaper per carton at volume, but storage and cash both cost money: two to three months of cover is enough to keep sea freight viable without renting a warehouse. A common pattern is a large first order to cover the opening plus three months, then quarterly replenishment once actual consumption is known.
Do these numbers include public areas and back of house?
No — the calculation covers guest rooms only. Lobby restrooms, spas, gyms, staff facilities and meeting rooms consume amenities too, typically adding 8-15% on top for a full-service property. Add that percentage to the annual figure if you need a total property budget.
