What Is Net Revenue Retention (NRR)?

Definition: The percentage of recurring revenue retained from existing customers, including expansion, contraction, and churn.

Understanding Net Revenue Retention (NRR)

NRR above 100% means existing customers are expanding faster than they churn — the hallmark of a healthy SaaS. But NRR alone can mask logo churn. A company with 120% NRR and 30% logo churn is riskier than one with 105% NRR and 5% logo churn.
