I invoice customers annually (prepaid). Should I enter ARR or MRR here?

Use the value you actually track: if you track MRR, enter MRR; if you track ARR, enter ARR. The calculator converts using a simple run-rate annualization (it’s for quick sizing/comparison, not cash timing or revenue recognition).

Why doesn’t the result match my GAAP revenue or cash collected this month?

MRR/ARR are normalized “recurring run-rate” metrics. They intentionally ignore one-time fees and don’t follow revenue recognition schedules or invoicing timing, so they won’t match GAAP revenue or cash receipts.

What formula does this calculator use to convert MRR and ARR?

Run-rate conversion: ARR (run rate) = MRR × 12, and MRR = ARR ÷ 12.

What does “Revenue band (by ARR) < $1M ARR” actually mean?

It’s a quick categorization based on your annualized run-rate ARR, used to label company scale at a glance. Treat it as a rough band, not a full “stage” verdict (because pricing model, churn, and seasonality can change the picture).

MRR & ARR Level Calculator

Convert between MRR and ARR (run-rate) and see a simple revenue band based on ARR thresholds. Currency-agnostic (USD shown as formatting).

Use this when you track MRR. We’ll compute ARR as ARR = 12 × MRR (simple run-rate).

Billing cadence (context only)

Common for monthly subscriptions or mixed billing. Conversion remains run-rate.

What is MRR & ARR Level? (Run-Rate Recurring Revenue)

MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) is the normalized recurring subscription revenue expected each month from active contracts.

ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue / Annualized Run Rate) annualizes that recurring revenue into a yearly run-rate view.

This matters because run-rate recurring revenue is the base layer for forecasting, operating leverage decisions, and value creation narratives (growth + retention + efficiency).

Formula

Example

Scenario: Monthly / mixed billing cadence (context only).

Input: MRR (per month) = $150,000.

Result: ARR (run rate) = $1,800,000.

Revenue band (by ARR): $1–3M ARR.

How to Use the MRR & ARR Level Calculator

Pick whether you’re starting from MRR or ARR, enter the number you know, and the calculator instantly converts it to a run-rate view (plus a simple ARR revenue band).

Choose your input type (MRR or ARR)
- Use the top selector to choose MRR (monthly) if you track monthly recurring revenue, or ARR (annual) if you track annual recurring revenue.
Set billing cadence (context only)
- Select Monthly / mixed or Annual prepaid. This is there to match your billing reality, while the conversion remains a run-rate annualization for apples-to-apples comparisons.
Enter your recurring revenue number
- - Type your MRR or ARR into the input field (currency formatting is automatic).
formula: ARR (run rate) = MRR × 12; MRR = ARR ÷ 12
Read the Results panel
- Review MRR (per month), ARR (run rate), and your Revenue band (by ARR) in the Results card.
