This article explains how we calculate the monthly revenue from recurring memberships.

How is MRR calculated?

Filter memberships

  • Only memberships with a fixed recurring payment (e.g., monthly or annual payments) are included.

Retrieve invoices for the period

  • All purchases and payments within the specified period are pulled from the database.

Calculation:

  • Total revenue for the period is divided by the number of recurring members.

Group by segment (gender, age, or total)

  • Data is divided to understand revenue across different groups.

Example Calculation

We calculate MRR for January, February, and March:

Month

Billed Revenue

Active Subscribers

MRR per Member

January

100,000 kr.

200

500 kr.

February

105,000 kr.

210

500 kr.

March

95,000 kr.

190

500 kr.

Calculate MRR for March:

95,000190=500 kr. per member\frac{95,000}{190} = 500 \text{ kr. per member}19095,000​=500 kr. per member

Compare MRR over time:

  • An increase indicates growth, while a decrease may signal subscriber loss.

Why is this important?

MRR is a crucial KPI for subscription-based businesses as it shows the expected recurring revenue. Businesses use this number to:
✅ Predict future revenue
✅ Identify subscriber growth or decline
✅ Plan marketing and customer engagement

💡 Result: A graph showing the monthly recurring revenue over time.
