How to use Net revenue retention calculator

  2. Enter expansion, contraction and churn revenue from that same group, excluding new customers.
  3. Calculate net and gross retention and download the reconciliation.

Useful next steps

Follow the same customer group

Net retention equals opening revenue plus expansion, less contraction and churn, divided by opening revenue. New-customer revenue is excluded. With opening revenue of 10000, expansion of 2000, contraction of 500 and churn of 1000, net retention is 105%.

Keep gross and net retention separate

Gross retention excludes expansion. In the example it is 85%, making the revenue lost before expansion visible. Contraction and churn cannot together exceed opening cohort revenue in this model. Keep the revenue definition and observation period consistent.
