ARR = MRR x 12
It is important for subscription companies to understand the concept of Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). ARR is a key success metric and momentum metric for subscription companies. It is the annualized version of Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) and helps companies to understand their potential revenue growth. To calculate ARR, use the following formula: ARR = MRR x 12
. Companies can use Sourcetable to calculate ARR accurately.
MRR stands for Monthly Recurring Revenue and is the most popular method of normalizing recurring revenues for subscription analytics. It provides a more accurate picture of performance.
ARR stands for Annual Recurring Revenue and is used almost exclusively in B2B subscription businesses. It is used when the minimum subscription term is one year and is used because it aligns better with GAAP revenue.
ARR has one advantage over MRR – it is used in businesses with low transaction volume and high transaction value.
