Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)
What is MRR?
MRR, an acronym for Monthly Recurring Revenue is your company's recurring revenue standardized on a monthly basis. It averages your pricing plans and billing duration into one consistent number that can be tracked over time. The subscription and SaaS-based companies mostly follow this metric.
Recurring revenue is one of the reasons why the SaaS business seems so appealing. Here one doesn't have to bother about a one-time deal that might not return. If your product is amazing, they will return to you every single time.
How to calculate MRR?
Here is the formula to calculate Monthly Recurring Revenue:
MRR = Average Revenue per Account x Total no. of Customers Monthly
So, suppose 20 customers are paying you $200 this month; it means an MRR of $2,000.
20 customers & $200/mo = $2,000 MRR
