ARR at 12m: $875,576.40 — NRR above 100% means expansion + low churn are compounding revenue without new logos. NRR below 100% signals churned revenue exceeds expansion — fix retention before scaling acquisition.

How to use it

Enter your current MRR (or leave at 0 and set ARPU + subscribers to derive it), monthly new subscribers, ARPU, churn rate, expansion MRR from upsells, and optionally a target ARR milestone.
Read current MRR/ARR, projected MRR at 3, 6, and 12 months, and Net Revenue Retention. NRR above 100% means existing customers are growing faster than they churn — a core SaaS health signal.
Interpret the MRR trajectory chart to see if growth is compounding or flattening. A flattening curve with high churn often means new subscriber additions are just backfilling churned revenue rather than growing the base.
Use the months-to-target-ARR output as a reality check on fundraising timelines or hiring plans. If the number is beyond your runway, either reduce churn, increase new subscriber velocity, or reprice to raise ARPU.
Re-run monthly with actual cohort data. Track NRR and MRR growth rate separately — NRR tells you if your product earns expansion; net new MRR growth tells you if your GTM is working.

Agent playbook

Resolve MRR / ARR Growth Calculator from /agent-tools.json and open its contract before execution.
Validate inputs against the contract schema instead of scraping labels from the page UI.
Open the browser page only when a person wants to review charts, assumptions, or related tools.

Agent FAQ

Should ChatGPT, Claude, or another agent click through the UI?

No. Start with /agent-tools.json, then follow the tool's contract URL. The page UI is for human review, not parameter discovery.

When do tools show Quick and Advanced?

Every tool opens in Quick Start first. Advanced Controls keeps the same scenario, reveals more assumptions or diagnostics, and every tool keeps AI integrations inline below the instructions.

When should an agent still open the browser page?

Open it when a human wants to sense-check the output, review the chart, or keep exploring related tools after the calculation finishes.

Questions people usually ask

What is MRR and ARR?

MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) is the predictable revenue a SaaS business earns each month from active subscriptions. ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) is MRR × 12 — the annualised view. Both exclude one-time fees and professional services.

What is Net Revenue Retention (NRR)?

NRR measures what percentage of revenue you retain from existing customers after accounting for churn, downgrades, and expansion (upsells). NRR above 100% means existing customers are worth more over time without new acquisition. Below 100% means churn exceeds expansion.

What is a good NRR for SaaS?

World-class SaaS companies target NRR above 120%. 100-110% is healthy. 90-100% is common for SMB-focused products with higher churn. Below 90% typically means retention is broken and scaling acquisition will accelerate losses.

How is churn modelled in this calculator?

Churn is applied monthly as a percentage of current MRR. New subscriber MRR is added each month based on new subscribers × ARPU. Expansion MRR is added as a flat monthly amount. This is a standard cohort-free approximation — for precision, model each cohort separately.

Is this tool free and private?

Yes. AI Biz Hub tools run entirely in your browser with no signup required. Inputs stay local unless you share the URL.

Is this financial advice?

No. Outputs are planning estimates. Validate with actual cohort data and a qualified financial advisor for fundraising or board-level reporting.
