What is Net Revenue Retention?

Net Revenue Retention (NRR) measures the revenue retained from existing customers over a period, including expansion revenue (upsells/cross-sells) minus contractions and churn. NRR above 100% means existing customers are growing even without new acquisitions.

  • Good: 100-115%
  • Concerning: Below 100%

Why NRR Matters

NRR above 100% means your business would grow even if you stopped acquiring new customers. It's the ultimate indicator of product-market fit and customer success. Investors value NRR as the strongest predictor of sustainable growth.
