105 %
Select Try the example in the form to load these values and calculate them again. This replaces the current form inputs. Compare the result with the method and worked explanation below.
The method, explained
NRR = (starting + expansion − contraction − churn)/starting × 100%.
Using starting recurring revenue = 10000 money, expansion revenue = 2000 money, contraction revenue = 500 money, churned revenue = 1000 money, the result is 105 %. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.
What to keep in mind
Use one starting customer cohort. Exclude revenue from newly acquired customers. Use consistent currencies, reporting periods and accounting definitions. This arithmetic estimate excludes items not entered in the form.
