What is Logo Retention Rate?

Short answer: The percentage of distinct customer accounts retained over a period, regardless of revenue size.

Definition

The percentage of distinct customer accounts retained over a period, regardless of revenue size.

Formula

(Customers at start - Customers churned) / Customers at start x 100

How to measure

Count active accounts at the start of a period and the count of those same accounts still active at the end, ignoring any new customers added.

Why track it

Logo retention flags product-wide satisfaction issues that revenue retention can mask if only a few large accounts are driving the revenue number.

Example

A company retains 940 of the 1,000 accounts it had at the start of the quarter, a 94% logo retention rate.
