About this calculator

Calculate your group's room block pickup rate against contracted minimums to spot attrition risk before your event's cutoff date.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is room block attrition?

Attrition occurs when a group books fewer rooms than contractually guaranteed, triggering a penalty fee based on the shortfall and allowed variance.

How is the attrition allowance used?

Most contracts permit a percentage shortfall (commonly 10-20%) before penalties apply. This calculator uses that threshold to find your true minimum requirement.

Is the projected pace accurate?

It's a simple linear projection based on your current booking pace over the last 30 days assumed booking window; actual pickup can accelerate closer to the event.
