Definition

MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) is the amount of money a business predictably generates each month through subscriptions and recurring payments. It's the most important metric for subscription-based businesses because it indicates business health and growth.

Examples

  • 1100 members at $19/month = $1,900 MRR.
  • 250 subscribers at $29/month + 30 at $9/month = $1,720 MRR.
  • 3A creator with $5,000 MRR generates $60,000 annually in recurring revenue.

How to apply it

Calculate your MRR by adding all monthly recurring payments. Track month over month to see if it's growing. Focus on reducing churn and acquiring new subscribers.
