SaaS Metrics
SaaS MRR Calculator
Calculate monthly recurring revenue from active customers and average revenue per account.
What this calculator does
Estimate monthly recurring revenue and annualized run rate from active paying customers and normalized monthly recurring revenue per customer.
Scope, period, and currency
This page runs a local formula from user-entered values. The country/currency selector changes money symbols and formatting only: it does not perform live or historical FX conversion or automatically change contract, tax, accounting, or regulatory rules. Convert all amounts into one currency first and keep periods and metric definitions consistent.
Formula variables
- N
- Active paying customers included in the snapshot.
- A
- Normalized monthly recurring revenue per customer.
Formula and worked example
Formula: MRR = N × A; annualized run rate = MRR × 12.
Recalculation: 420 active customers × $39 normalized monthly ARPU = $16,380 MRR and $196,560 annualized run rate.
Model assumptions
- ARPU contains recurring subscription revenue only.
- Annual, quarterly, discounts, and multiple currencies are normalized before entry.
- One-time fees, taxes, refunds, and accounting revenue recognition are excluded.
Reading the result and model boundary
- MRR is a point-in-time operating metric.
- MRR × 12 is an annualized run rate, not guaranteed future or recognized revenue.
This is a simple recurring-revenue snapshot, not a revenue-recognition or forecast model.
How to use it
- Define which active paying subscriptions are included.
- Normalize recurring revenue to a monthly amount in one currency.
- Exclude one-time charges and reconcile the snapshot with billing data.
Common incorrect uses
- Multiplying annual invoice value as if it were monthly ARPU.
- Including setup fees or one-time services.
- Calling MRR × 12 accounting revenue.
Suggested verification workflow
- Normalize subscriptions.
- Calculate MRR and run rate.
- Reconcile with billing movements and accounting reports.
FAQ
Should annual plans be included?
Yes, but first normalize their recurring amount to a monthly basis.
Is MRR × 12 the next year's revenue?
No. It is an annualized run rate that assumes the current snapshot continues.
Does currency selection convert subscriptions?
No. It changes display formatting only; normalize all subscriptions into one currency first.
