01
Monthly Recurring Revenue is the normalized monthly stock of subscription revenue. The desk leads with ending MRR after the month's movement, with net-new printed underneath.
This page's framing is an MRR desk, with a movement waterfall peel, a net-new companion, and an ARR×12 cue. It is not ARR's run-rate↔bridge twin, not ARPU's blend trap, not monthly logo churn's pulse, and not a GAAP revenue schedule.
Decision framing: “Did recurring revenue grow this month after new, expansion, churn, and contraction?”

02
The peel rolls beginning MRR through + new, + expansion, − churned, − contraction to ending MRR. Keep one-time implementation fees out of these lines unless your policy truly treats them as recurring.
Tip: load Churn-heavy. Watch net-new go negative even when new logo sales still look busy.
Expansion is uplift from existing accounts. Contraction is downgrades that stay customers. Churned MRR is recurring lost when logos leave. Definitions vary; stay consistent month to month.
03
Net-new MRR = new + expansion − churned − contraction. Net-new % of begin shows how large that lift is relative to the opening stock. A flat net-new month can still hide large gross adds and losses that cancel.
Logo churn boards answer “how many left?” This companion answers “how many recurring dollars moved?” Hand off to revenue churn when you need a dedicated dollar-loss story.
04
Ending MRR × 12 is a quick year run-rate sketch. It is not the ARR bridge, and it does not prove alignment between monthly run-rate and annual roll-forward. For that twin and growth peels, use the ARR calculator.
Optional prior ending MRR prints MoM % = (ending − prior) / prior. It is context, not a forecast engine.
05
Net-new, ending MRR, and ARR cue.
Example: begin $10,000 + $1,200 new + $400 expansion − $500 churned − $150 contraction → net-new $950 → ending $10,950 → ARR cue $131,400.
06
Sibling boards when the job is annualization, per-user averages, logos, or dollar churn.
07
Scenario A: Steady grow. Net-new stays positive; ARR cue tracks the new ending stock × 12.
Load Land & expand: expansion leads new. Net-new can look strong even with modest logo adds.
Scenario B: Churn-heavy. Churned and contraction dominate. Ending MRR falls; MoM vs prior turns negative.
Scenario C: Flat month. Gross adds roughly cancel losses. Net-new ≈ 0 while the waterfall still shows motion.
Scenario D: Need year bridge. Carry ending MRR into ARR for run-rate vs bridge alignment.

Stop here for monthly recurring movement and net-new literacy. Hand off for ARR bridge alignment, per-user averages, logo pulse, or revenue-dollar churn.

It closes an MRR desk from a month movement waterfall: beginning MRR plus new and expansion, minus churned and contracted MRR. A net-new companion shows the month’s recurring lift, and an ARR×12 cue hands off year-scale run-rate thinking to the ARR board.
Monthly Recurring Revenue is the normalized monthly stock of subscription revenue. One-time fees and pure services are usually excluded. Align the definition with your finance team.
Net-new MRR = new + expansion − churned − contraction. Ending MRR = beginning + net-new. It answers whether the recurring book grew this month after losses.
ARR owns annualized run-rate (MRR×12) versus an ARR bridge twin and growth peels. ARPU owns revenue per user / blend traps. This page owns the monthly movement waterfall and net-new literacy.
Ending MRR × 12 as a quick year run-rate sketch. Deep bridge vs run-rate comparison lives on the ARR calculator.
If you enter a prior ending MRR, MoM % = (ending − prior) / prior. It is optional context, not a forecast engine.
No. It is a planning sketch only. Not GAAP/IFRS revenue recognition, tax advice, or investment advice. See our disclaimers.
