When a booking is longer than 7 nights, SuperControl offers several ways to calculate the price of the additional nights. These options control how pricing is calculated when a stay extends beyond a full week or crosses price bands.
- Pro-rata after first week: Any nights beyond the first 7 are priced using the short break prices from the Price Planner. (Jump to example calculation below)
- When you tick this box, a further option will appear called "Calculate pro-rata using following weeks rate" which will use the short break price from the last band only.
- Calculate short breaks across price bands: When enabled, short breaks that cross price bands are calculated using prices from each applicable band, rather than restricting the calculation to a single band. (Jump to example below)
- If no pro-rata option is selected:
- If none of the above options are ticked, SuperControl uses a standard nightly calculation:
- Extra nights are calculated as
(weekly price ÷ 7) × number of additional nights - If the booking crosses multiple price bands, this calculation is applied separately to each band, based on how many nights fall within each one.
- There is no option in this mode to calculate using only the later price band.
- Extra nights are calculated as
- If none of the above options are ticked, SuperControl uses a standard nightly calculation:
This setting comes into action if you have a guest book a stay for dates that cross-over two price bands within your Price Planner:
Use the following calculation (example booking is 7 nights):
4 nights fall within the first price band of £1000 (1000 / 7 = 142.86 (the daily rate) x 4 nights = £571.42)
3 nights fall within the second price band of £2000 (2000 / 7 = 285.71 (the daily rate) x 3 nights = £857.14)
TOTAL FOR 7 NIGHTS 857.14 + 571.42 = £1428.57
Entire calculation: ((1000/7)*4)+((2000/7)*3)
For stays of more than 7 nights (example booking is 10 nights):
Use the above calculation to work out the 7 night price and then use that solution in the following calculation to work out the remaining 3 nights:
7 night price previously calculated/7 x 3 nights e.g. (£1428.57/7 = £204.08 (the daily rate) x 3 nights = £612.24)
TOTAL FOR 10 NIGHT STAY 1428.57 + 612.24 = £2040.81
Entire calculation: ((1000/7)*4)+((2000/7)*3)+((1428.57/7)*3)
If selected, this option will apply to short break bookings which span over two different price bands.
Example calculation of 4 nights:
2 nights fall within the first price band so we take the 4 night price of £400 and divide it by 4 (the length of stay) = £100 (the daily rate) x 2 nights e.g. (400/4)*2 = £200
2 nights fall within the second price band with a 4 night price of £500 so again using the above calculation we have (500/4)*2 = £250
TOTAL FOR 4 NIGHTS £200 + 250 = £450.00
Entire calculation: ((400/4)*2)+((500/4)*2)
Please note:
If either a Friday or a Saturday is part of the booking, you need to use the weekend prices.
