MRR
MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) is the total predictable revenue a subscription business earns each month from all active customers.
In Depth
MRR normalizes subscription revenue to a monthly basis, making it easy to track growth trends and compare performance across periods. For businesses with annual contracts, MRR is calculated by dividing the annual contract value by 12. Key MRR metrics include Net MRR Growth Rate (month-over-month change), MRR Churn Rate (percentage lost to cancellations), and Quick Ratio (new + expansion MRR divided by contraction + churned MRR — a ratio above 4 indicates very healthy growth).
Customer support teams should understand MRR because their work directly impacts it — every prevented cancellation protects MRR, every resolved escalation reduces churn risk, and every positive support experience increases the likelihood of renewal and expansion. AI agents make MRR impact measurable by tracking which customers they helped retain and what revenue those accounts represent.
