Net Revenue Retention (NRR)

Revenue kept and then grown on an existing base, expansion included.

Definition

Net Revenue Retention measures how the revenue of a cohort of existing customers evolves over twelve months, including expansions (upsell, cross-sell) and deducting contractions and churn. An NRR above 100% means the existing base grows on its own, without any new acquisition.

Why it matters

NRR has become the reference metric for SaaS investors because it reflects both retention and the ability to expand. Customer Success Manager and Account Manager steer it together: one protects the base, the other grows the accounts.
