MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue)

The predictable revenue that a business expects to receive every month from its subscription customers.

Definition

Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) is the amount of revenue a subscription business can reliably anticipate receiving every 30 days. It normalizes revenue from various subscription plans and contract lengths to provide a consistent metric for tracking business growth.

How to Calculate

Basic Formula:

MRR = Number of Customers × Average Revenue Per Customer (Monthly)

Real-World Example

SaaS Company: 500 customers paying $50/month = $25,000 MRR

Plus 100 customers on annual plans ($480/year) = $4,000 additional MRR

Total MRR = $29,000
