Practical Examples of SaaS Net MRR Churn
- Positive Net MRR Churn: A SaaS company began with an MRR of $50,000, faced $5,000 in cancellations, but gained $8,000 from upgrades. This resulted in a net MRR churn calculation of (-$5,000 + $8,000) / $50,000 = -6%, indicating a positive growth in net MRR.
- Negative Net MRR Churn: Starting with an MRR of $100,000, another SaaS company experienced a $10,000 churn and only $4,000 in expansion. This led to a net MRR churn of ($10,000 – $4,000) / $100,000 = 6%, showing a decrease in MRR.
- Zero Net MRR Churn: A third SaaS company with an initial MRR of $75,000 lost $3,000 in MRR but simultaneously gained $3,000 from existing customers. The net MRR churn was ($3,000 – $3,000) / $75,000 = 0%, indicating that the MRR from existing customers was stable.

이 예시에서 1개월차에 순 MRR이 감소한 것을 볼 수 있으며, 이는 이탈률이 음수라는 것으로 나타납니다. 반면에 2개월차와 3개월차는 순 MRR이 증가한 것을 보여주며, 이는 순 MRR 이탈과 순 MRR 이탈률 모두에서 긍정적인 추세임을 나타냅니다. 이는 확장 MRR이 높고 손실 MRR이 낮기 때문에 SaaS 비즈니스에 이상적입니다.
