MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue)

Also known as: Monthly Recurring Revenue

MRR is the predictable, normalized monthly revenue from recurring subscriptions, used to track SaaS business momentum month-over-month.

How it works

MRR = ARR / 12. While ARR is what investors price on, MRR is what operators run on day-to-day. It's broken into New MRR, Expansion MRR, Churn MRR, and Contraction MRR — the four components that determine net new MRR each month.
