SaaS Quick Ratio

A growth efficiency ratio comparing revenue gained to revenue lost in a period.

Formula

(New MRR + Expansion MRR) / (Churned MRR + Contraction MRR)

How to measure

Sum new and expansion MRR for the period, then divide by the sum of churned and contraction MRR for that same period.

Why track it

A quick ratio above 4 is often considered healthy, showing revenue gained substantially outpaces revenue lost; below 1 means the business is shrinking.

Example

A company adding $50,000 in new and expansion MRR against $8,000 in churn and contraction reports a quick ratio of 6.25.
