What is Net New MRR?

Short answer: The total change in MRR for a period after accounting for new, expansion, contraction, and churned MRR.

Definition

The total change in MRR for a period after accounting for new, expansion, contraction, and churned MRR.

Formula

New MRR + Expansion MRR - Contraction MRR - Churned MRR

How to measure

Sum all MRR gained from new and expanding customers, then subtract all MRR lost to contraction and churn within the same period.

Why track it

Net new MRR is the single number that shows whether the business actually grew or shrank in a given month once every movement is netted out.

Example

A company adds $6,000 new, $4,000 expansion, loses $1,000 contraction and $2,000 churn, for $7,000 net new MRR.
