Net Revenue Retention
A precise tool.
What is the Net Revenue Retention & How does it work?
Net Revenue Retention (NRR) is a key metric for understanding the health and growth of your subscription-based business. It measures the percentage change in annual recurring revenue from existing customers over a given period, excluding new customer acquisitions.
NRR helps businesses identify whether they are retaining their customers effectively or if there is a need to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty. A high NRR indicates that your business is successfully renewing contracts and upselling to existing customers, while a low NRR may suggest issues with customer retention.
