FAQ

Subscription revenue questions answered

What's the difference between MRR and ARR?+

MRR = Monthly Recurring Revenue. ARR = Annual Recurring Revenue = MRR × 12. ARR is the standard valuation metric for SaaS companies (typically valued at 5-10x ARR).

What is Net Revenue Retention (NRR)?+

NRR = (starting MRR + expansion - churn - contraction) / starting MRR. Top-tier SaaS companies have NRR > 120%, meaning existing customers spend 20%+ more over time. Our calculator shows your NRR automatically.

What's a healthy LTV:CAC ratio?+

Target LTV:CAC > 3x. Below 3x means you're spending too much to acquire customers. Above 5x means you may be under-investing in growth. Our calculator shows this ratio instantly.

How does churn affect my valuation?+

Churn directly impacts LTV and valuation. A 5% monthly churn vs 2% monthly churn can reduce company valuation by 60%+. Our churn modeler shows the dramatic long-term impact.

What's a good monthly churn rate?+

B2B SaaS: 1-2% monthly churn is healthy. B2C: 3-5% is typical. Under 1% is exceptional. Enterprise SaaS can be under 0.5%. Our calculator helps you benchmark.

How do I calculate expansion revenue?+

Expansion revenue comes from plan upgrades, add-on purchases, and cross-sells. Enter your monthly expansion rate (% of existing MRR from upsells) to see true NRR.

What's the difference between gross and net churn?+

Gross churn = revenue lost from cancellations only. Net churn = gross churn minus expansion revenue. Healthy SaaS businesses aim for negative net churn (expansion > churn).

Can I use this for annual subscriptions?+

Yes — convert annual to monthly equivalent. For annual plans paid upfront, recognize revenue monthly (1/12 each month) for MRR calculations. Our tool works with monthly ARPU.
