Gross Revenue Retention (GRR)

Revenue kept on an existing base, excluding expansion.

Definition

Gross Revenue Retention measures the revenue kept on an existing cohort after churn and contractions, without counting expansions. Capped at 100%, it isolates the pure ability to retain revenue already signed, where NRR blends retention and growth.

Why it matters

GRR reveals the real solidity of the foundation: a flattering NRR can hide a weak GRR offset by a few large upsells. For a Customer Success Manager, it is the most honest mirror of retention.
