Core SaaS Metrics
Revenue Metrics
- MRR: sum of all active subscription revenue in a month (normalize all plans to monthly)
- ARR: MRR × 12 (snapshot metric, not cumulative)
- New MRR: MRR from new customers acquired this month
- Expansion MRR: additional MRR from existing customers (upsell, cross-sell)
- Contraction MRR: MRR lost from downgrades
- Churned MRR: MRR lost from full cancellations
- Net New MRR = New + Expansion - Contraction - Churned
Retention Metrics
- Gross Revenue Retention (GRR) = (MRR_start - Churned_MRR - Contraction_MRR) / MRR_start
- Best-in-class: > 90% (enterprise), > 80% (SMB)
- Net Revenue Retention (NRR) = (MRR_start + Expansion - Contraction - Churned) / MRR_start
- Best-in-class: > 120% (expansion-led), > 100% (minimum for growth)
- NRR > 100% means revenue grows even with zero new customers
Efficiency Metrics
- CAC = Total Sales & Marketing Spend / New Customers Acquired (same period, lagged by sales cycle)
- LTV = ARPU × Gross Margin / Monthly Churn Rate
- LTV/CAC: > 3x healthy, > 5x excellent, < 1x unsustainable
- CAC Payback Period = CAC / (ARPU × Gross Margin %): target < 12 months
SaaS Efficiency Score (Rule of 40)
Rule of 40 = YoY Revenue Growth % + EBITDA Margin %
-
40: strong (growth + profitability balanced)
-
60: exceptional
- < 20: concerning
Magic Number (Sales Efficiency)
Magic Number = Net New ARR (quarter) / Prior Quarter S&M Spend
-
0.75: efficient go-to-market
- < 0.5: investigate unit economics before scaling spend
