How To Calculate Net Revenue Retention in DELMIAworks | Arithmix

Calculating net revenue retention is an important metric for any business looking to understand the health of their customer base. Net revenue retention measures the amount of revenue a company retains from existing customers over a certain period of time, after accounting for any lost revenue due to customer churn or downgrades. This metric is particularly valuable for subscription-based businesses, as it helps to identify the impact of customer retention on overall revenue growth.

What Is Net Revenue Retention?

Net revenue retention is a financial metric that measures the percentage of revenue a company retains from its existing customer base over a certain period of time. This metric takes into account any lost revenue due to customer churn or downgrades, and provides a clear picture of how well a company is retaining its existing customers.

To calculate net revenue retention, you need to take the total revenue generated from your existing customer base at the beginning of a period, and compare it to the revenue generated from the same customer base at the end of the period. Any lost revenue due to customer churn or downgrades is subtracted from the total revenue generated, and the resulting figure is divided by the total revenue generated at the beginning of the period. The resulting percentage is your net revenue retention rate.

When Is It Valuable To Calculate Net Revenue Retention?

Calculating net revenue retention is valuable for any business that relies on recurring revenue from its customer base. This includes subscription-based businesses, SaaS companies, and any other business that generates revenue from ongoing customer relationships.

Net revenue retention provides valuable insights into the health of a company's customer base, and can help to identify areas for improvement in customer retention and revenue growth. By tracking net revenue retention over time, businesses can identify trends and patterns in customer behavior, and make data-driven decisions to improve customer retention and revenue growth.

In addition, net revenue retention is a valuable metric for investors and stakeholders, as it provides a clear picture of a company's ability to retain and grow its customer base over time. By demonstrating a strong net revenue retention rate, businesses can attract new investors and stakeholders, and position themselves for long-term growth and success.
