Use this calculator to estimate monthly recurring revenue calculator from your own assumptions. The calculation runs locally in your browser, and the formula, example, scope, and source are visible below.
How to use this calculator
- Subscription lines: customers × recurring price: enter the value for the same scenario and period as the other inputs.
- Billing period per line (monthly/quarterly/annual): enter the value for the same scenario and period as the other inputs.
- Recurring discounts: enter the value for the same scenario and period as the other inputs.
- Exclude one-time/setup fees: enter the value for the same scenario and period as the other inputs.
- Replace the example values with values from one consistent scenario.
- Select Calculate and review the primary and supporting results.
- Change one assumption at a time when comparing scenarios, then verify material decisions against the governing source or a qualified professional.
Formula and method
monthly_equivalent_per_customer = recurring_charge / months_in_billing_period
MRR = Σ(customers * monthly_equivalent_per_customer) - recurring_discounts
ARR = MRR * 12
The implementation uses the audited A6 — Recurring Revenue & Growth method. Intermediate values retain calculation precision; the interface formats values only for display unless the formula itself specifies a rounding rule.
Worked example
Inputs: 100 customers × $50 monthly + 20 customers × $1,200 annual
Result: MRR=$7,000.00; ARR=$84,000.00
This is the baseline audited scenario used to check that the page, formula, and displayed result remain aligned.
How to interpret the result
The calculator reports MRR; ARR; revenue mix by plan. Treat the output as a scenario estimate: it changes when the entered scope, time period, fee basis, or cost definition changes. It does not establish a universal benchmark or guarantee a business outcome.
Assumptions and limitations
-
The result is limited to the inputs and A6 — Recurring Revenue & Growth logic shown on this page.
-
Results are informational planning estimates, not accounting, tax, legal, employment, valuation, or investment advice.
-
Values are processed in the browser and are not submitted to an application server.
Common mistakes
-
Annual prepayment.
-
one-time fees.
-
paused/free accounts.
-
Rounding intermediate values before completing the formula can change the final result.
-
A worked example is not a default recommendation; replace every assumption that does not match your case.

How this calculator was created and tested
- Formula basis: the public formula is generated from the audited implementation specification for this calculator, not inferred from a search snippet or an AI answer.
- Validation coverage: 2 of 2 release test vectors are marked Audited for this calculator. The suite covers a normal scenario plus boundary or invalid-input behavior where defined.
- Regression behavior: build checks compare expected outputs, validation states, route integrity, structured data, internal links, and release blockers before publication.
- Automation and AI: automation or AI may assist drafting, organization, and regression work, but it is not treated as an authoritative source and does not override the audited formula, official rate registry, or release blockers.
- Editorial responsibility: MIASIN S.R.O. controls publication, source policy, corrections, and release decisions. No named individual expert review is claimed unless a page explicitly identifies one.
