Gross Revenue Retention

Gross revenue retention measures retained recurring revenue before expansion.

Gross revenue retention, or GRR, measures how much existing recurring revenue remains after churn and contraction, before expansion revenue is added back.

Formula

GRR = (Starting revenue - Churn - Contraction) / Starting revenue

GRR helps reveal whether NRR is supported by a stable customer base or masked by a few expansions. Use it with SaaS net revenue retention benchmarks.
