ARR = MRR × 12. Customer LTV = ARPU ÷ Monthly Churn Rate. Track these to grow your SaaS sustainably.
What this calculator does
Good SaaS benchmarks: NRR >100%, Churn <2%/month, LTV:CAC >3.
How it works
A 5% monthly growth rate = 80% annual growth.
When to use this calculator
This tool is most useful during planning and review cycles: setting targets, evaluating performance, or comparing options. Standardised metrics make comparisons across periods or business units reliable.
Common mistakes
The most consequential business calculation error is excluding indirect costs from the calculation. Labour, overhead, and opportunity cost are frequently omitted when evaluating profitability, producing overstated margin figures.
Real-world scenarios
A marketing manager calculates campaign ROI: £15,000 spend, £72,000 in attributed revenue, 35% gross margin. Net profit from the campaign: £10,200. ROI: 68%. The figure justifies the budget allocation and provides the benchmark for the next campaign.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good SaaS churn rate?
Under 2%/month (around 20–22% annual) is considered acceptable. Under 1%/month is excellent.
How is ARR calculated?
ARR = Monthly Recurring Revenue × 12. Include only recurring subscription revenue — not one-time fees.
