What is MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue)?

Monthly Recurring Revenue is the predictable revenue a subscription business earns each month. It is the single most important metric for SaaS companies because it normalizes all recurring revenue into a consistent monthly figure for tracking growth.

Key Terms
MRR

Monthly Recurring Revenue, the total predictable revenue earned from all active subscriptions in a given month.

ARR

Annual Recurring Revenue, calculated by multiplying MRR by 12 to express recurring revenue on a yearly basis.

New MRR

Recurring revenue added from brand-new customers who subscribed during the period.

Expansion MRR

Additional recurring revenue from existing customers who upgraded their plan or purchased add-ons.

Churned MRR

Recurring revenue lost from customers who cancelled or downgraded their subscriptions during the period.

Net New MRR

The overall change in MRR after accounting for new, expansion, and churned revenue. A positive number means the business is growing.

Formulas Used
MRR
MRR = Number of Customers × ARPU

Multiply your total paying customers by the average revenue per user to get your baseline monthly recurring revenue.

ARR
ARR = MRR × 12

Annualize your monthly recurring revenue to express it as a yearly figure for investor reporting and benchmarking.

Net New MRR
Net New MRR = New MRR + Expansion MRR − Churned MRR

Combine all sources of MRR change to see whether your recurring revenue base is growing or shrinking each month.

Understanding Monthly Recurring Revenue

Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) is the most important metric for any subscription business. It normalizes all your recurring revenue into a single monthly number, making it easy to track growth, spot trends, and forecast future performance.

MRR is typically broken into components: new MRR from first-time customers, expansion MRR from upgrades or add-ons, and churned MRR from cancellations or downgrades. Net new MRR is the sum of these components and tells you whether the business is growing or shrinking.

Investors evaluate SaaS companies heavily on MRR growth rate. A healthy early-stage startup often targets 15-20% month-over-month MRR growth. Tracking MRR consistently helps you identify the levers that matter most for your business.

FAQ

Common questionsanswered.

What is the formula for MRR?+
MRR = Number of subscribers x Average Revenue Per Account (ARPA). For a more detailed view, calculate Net New MRR = New MRR + Expansion MRR - Churned MRR.
Should I include annual plans in MRR?+
Yes. Divide the annual subscription amount by 12 to normalize it into a monthly figure. This gives you a consistent view of recurring revenue.
What is a good MRR growth rate?+
For early-stage SaaS, 15-20% month-over-month is considered strong. As companies scale, growth naturally slows — 5-10% monthly is solid for companies past $1M ARR.
