SaaS metrics

MRR / ARR

Monthly and annual recurring revenue, the base of any subscription SaaS.

Definition

MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) is recurring revenue normalised to the month; ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) is its annual projection. They exclude one-off revenue and serve as the foundation for calculating churn, NRR and customer lifetime value.

Why it matters

MRR and ARR provide a common language between finance, Customer Success and sales. An Account Manager often thinks in ARR per account to decide where to invest their time.
