Gross Revenue Retention (GRR)

The percentage of recurring revenue retained from an existing customer cohort, counting churn and downgrades but excluding any expansion revenue.

Why it matters

GRR isolates how well a company keeps what it already has, without expansion masking a real churn problem the way NRR can.

Example

A company with the same starting ARR loses $50,000 to churn and downgrades over the year, giving a GRR of 95% even though NRR looked healthy.
