ACV (Annual Contract Value)

The average annual value of customer contracts, normalized to a one-year period.

Definition

ACV represents the annual value of a customer contract, excluding any one-time fees. It helps businesses understand the annual recurring value from each customer relationship.

How to Calculate

ACV = Total Contract Value / Contract Length (Years)

Real-World Example

Enterprise Deal: 3-year contract worth $150,000 total

ACV = $150,000 / 3 years = $50,000
