MRR Growth Rate Calculator

Q: What is a good MRR growth rate?

Depends on stage. Early-stage: 15-25% MoM is excellent. Growth stage ($5M+ ARR): 5-10% MoM is strong. Below 5% MoM at any stage warrants investigation.

Q: How is MRR growth rate different from revenue growth rate?

MRR growth tracks recurring revenue only, excluding one-time fees. YoY revenue growth is a lagging indicator; MoM MRR growth is a leading indicator.

Q: How do I calculate annual growth from monthly growth?

Annual Growth = (1 + Monthly Growth Rate)^12 - 1. Monthly 10% = Annual ~214%. Monthly 5% = Annual ~80%. Monthly 15% = Annual ~435%.

Q: What causes declining MRR growth rate?

Market saturation, increased competition, product maturity, sales team inefficiency, or churn acceleration. Analyze new MRR vs churn MRR to identify the root cause.

Q: Should I include one-time fees in MRR?

No. MRR should only include recurring subscription revenue. One-time fees, setup fees, and professional services should be excluded from MRR calculations.

Q: How does pricing affect MRR growth rate?

Higher prices increase MRR per customer, improving growth rate. But higher prices may reduce new customer acquisition. Find the optimal price point that maximizes net MRR growth. Track MRR growth automatically with [Baremetrics](https://baremetrics.com?via=saastainednumbers).

Q: How often should I track MRR growth rate?

Monthly is standard. Calculate on the same day each month for consistency. Track the 3-month and 6-month moving averages to identify trends.

Q: What is a healthy MRR growth rate for a mature company?

For companies with $10M+ ARR, 5-10% MoM (60-120% annually) is excellent. 3-5% MoM (36-60% annually) is good. Below 2-3% MoM suggests the company is approaching maturity.

Calculate your month-over-month MRR growth rate to measure your SaaS company's growth trajectory.

MRR Growth Rate is the most important leading indicator for SaaS companies. It measures the month-over-month change in your Monthly Recurring Revenue, capturing both the addition of new customers and the impact of churn, expansion, and contraction. MRR growth rate is the single best predictor of future company value - investors use it alongside the Rule of 40 to evaluate company health. Tracking MRR growth rate helps you understand whether your business is accelerating, decelerating, or stagnating, and it serves as the foundation for financial forecasting.

Formel und Beispielrechnung

MRR Growth Rate = (Current MRR - Previous MRR) ÷ Previous MRR × 100:

MRR Change = Current MRR - Previous MRR.

Example: Previous = $80K, Current = $100K.

Growth = ($100K - $80K) ÷ $80K × 100 = 25%.

Change = +$20K.
