What is New MRR?

New MRR is the monthly recurring revenue from customers who just signed up for the first time. If a new customer picks a $49/month plan, that’s $49 in New MRR. If they pick a $600/year plan, divide by 12. That’s $50 in New MRR. Only first-time customers count. Returning customers go under Reactivation MRR.

How to Calculate It

New MRR = Sum of MRR from all first-time customers in the period
Example: 3 new customers sign up this month:
  • Customer A: $49/month → $49
  • Customer B: $99/month → $99
  • Customer C: $600/year → $600 ÷ 12 = $50
New MRR = $49 + $99 + $50 = $198
