What is ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue)?

The total recurring revenue normalized to a 12-month period, used for planning and company valuation.

What is ARR?

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is the annualized value of recurring revenue from all active subscriptions. It's calculated as MRR ร— 12 and is the primary metric used for long-term planning and company valuation.

Why ARR Matters

ARR is the primary valuation metric for B2B SaaS companies. Companies are typically valued at 5-20x ARR depending on growth rate, retention, and profitability. ARR provides a clearer view of business trajectory than monthly fluctuations.
