How This Calculator Works
ARR turns the inputs into a visible formula-based estimate. Use it to compare margin, funnel movement, CAC, revenue, cost, and scenario planning before changing pricing, spend, or operations.
Use the ARR calculator to convert between monthly and annual recurring revenue and model new, expansion, contraction, and churned ARR.
ARR is commonly estimated by annualizing recurring monthly revenue. ARR movement uses the same logic as MRR movement but in annualized values.
Formula
ARR = MRR x 12. MRR = ARR / 12. Ending ARR = starting ARR + new + expansion - contraction - churn.
Example Calculation
$25,000 MRR equals $300,000 ARR.
When to Use This Calculator
- Convert MRR to ARR
- Model annual recurring revenue movement
- Compare annual contract value
Practical Scenarios
- Run the calculator before changing pricing, spend, hiring, or targets so margin and cash impact are visible. Use case: Convert MRR to ARR.
- Compare conservative, base, and optimistic assumptions when revenue, conversion, CAC, or cost can move quickly. Start with ARR, then compare the changed result with the original.
- Use related business calculators when one metric affects the wider funnel, payback, runway, or profit picture. This is especially useful when you need to compare annual contract value.
Tips
- Keep non-recurring revenue out of ARR
- Use consistent contract terms
- Separate new, expansion, contraction, and churn
Common Mistakes
- Annualizing one-time setup fees
- Mixing bookings with ARR
- Ignoring churned annual value
- Reading revenue as profit before fees, refunds, discounts, labor, taxes, and fulfillment costs are included.
- Mixing monthly, annual, cohort, and campaign numbers in the same calculation.
Assumptions and Limitations
The ARR Calculator is strongest when revenue, cost, margin, period, and funnel assumptions all use the same reporting window. Review the formula, assumptions, and related calculators before using the result in a decision.
- Refunds, chargebacks, taxes, payment fees, labor, seasonality, and contracts can change real outcomes.
- The result is a planning estimate, not accounting, tax, legal, or professional advice.
- Verify assumptions against current records before changing prices, budgets, or strategy.
ARR explains ARR, annual recurring revenue, MRR to ARR and ARR to MRR through decision context such as margin, period, funnel quality, and cash impact.
