Friends,

At the end of each year/quarter you can analyze your performance for that time period. And at the same time, make projections based on the data you have observed.

There are 3 key metrics to consider. It takes into account your revenue, your customers, your LTV, churn and your CAC.

#1. New MRR/ARR added

This metric measures how much revenue “R” is added to your business over “N” period of time by “C” new customers. Where R/C gives you the average revenue per user (ARPU) over “N” months/years.

#2: Churned MRR/ARR

This metric measures the revenue lost “RL” across “N” period of time due to “CL” customers leaving. Calculate churn rate = (Lost customers (CL) / Total customers at the start (C)) * 100.

#3: Expansion MRR/ARR

This metric measures the percentage expansion in MRR by existing customers upgrading/expanding their subscription.

Measure your revenue growth using this formula:

Net MRR = New MRR from new customers + Expansion MRR - churned MRR.

Expansion MRR here is the MRR added across N-period of time by paying customer upgrading to a higher paying tier.
