- • Retained $46000.00 = $50000.00−$4000.00
- • Net $50500.00 = $46000.00+$4000.00+$500.00

How it works
Methodology & formulas
This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.
Calculation steps
- 1Sum all downward movements for total contraction.
- 2Subtract from starting for retained gross.
- 3Add expansion and reactivation for net retained ending of existing cohort.
- 4Divide by starting for NRR percentage.
- 5Compute gross retention without expansion to isolate pure churn.
- 6Exponentiate monthly NRR over 12 months for annual implied and bucket tier.
Formulas
- downward = downgrade + churned + contraction
- retained = starting − downward
- netRetained = retained + expansion + reactivation
- NRR = netRetained / starting ×100
- grossRetention = retained / starting ×100
- impliedAnnual = (NRR/100)^12 ×100
- growthExisting = NRR −100
Important assumptions
- Total downward = downgrade + churned + contraction.
- Retained MRR = starting − total downward.
- Net retained = retained + expansion + reactivation.
- NRR = (netRetained / starting) ×100.
- Gross retention = (retained / starting) ×100 (no expansion, no reactivation).
- Implied annual NRR = NRRMonthly^12 approximated as (NRR/100)^12 ×100, clamped realistic.
- Growth from existing = NRR −100%.
- NRR tier: >=120 best in class, >=100 healthy growing, >=90 okay, <90 needs work.

Know what this estimate is built on
This calculator is intentionally platform-agnostic, so it does not attach a platform fee URL.
Official references
No single official fee page is attached here. The model keeps these inputs editable so you can use the terms that apply to your situation.

This model uses editable planning assumptions. Confirm tax, payment, financing, or operating terms with the relevant provider, official authority, or adviser for your situation.
Defaults are editable estimates. Match them to your current account, provider statement, official authority, lender, or adviser before making a pricing or investment decision.
Calculator model reviewed: August 9, 2026. This date covers the page and calculator guidance, not a guarantee that every live platform rate or term was re-audited on that date.
Worked example
$50K starting, $4K expansion, $4K losses, $500 reactivation
Starting $50K, expansion $4K, downgrade $1.5K, churn $2.5K, contraction $0, reactivation $500. Retained $46K, net retained $50.5K, NRR 101% healthy, gross 92%, implied annual ~112.7%, growth +1% from existing.
