Net revenue retention calculator

Worked example

Net revenue retention · 104%

See the formula

(Starting cohort MRR + Expansion − Contraction − Churned MRR) ÷ Starting cohort MRR × 100.

How to interpret the result

Exclude revenue from new subscribers. Include only changes within the original cohort.

Publisher example

Starting MRR is $5,000, upgrades add $500, downgrades remove $200 and cancellations remove $400. Retention is 98%. New sales do not close the $100 gap in this calculation.
