¿Qué es MRR / ARR? (Monthly + Annual Recurring Revenue)

Definición

  • MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue): ingresos predecibles que esperas recibir cada mes de suscripciones activas
  • ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue): equivalent annual. Typically MRR × 12

Cómo calcular

MRR = Σ (monthly subscription value de cada cliente activo)

Ejemplo: 50 clientes × $400 MXN/mes plan Basic + 20 × $1,500 plan Pro = $20K + $30K = $50K MRR. ARR = $600K.
