That's right, MRR is always a snapshot in time. Which means you can report on your MRR figure over any given time period. It's also helpful to report on how much MRR increased / decreased within a given time period, (this is the purpose of the final dashboard in the video). For example, it can show you the value of the new business you brought in that month, in terms of MRR.
Request your help. My ARR as on 2022 was 629. This includes a 3 year contract for $245000 each year. In 2023 will i need to count $245000? also another question is a contract for 250000, of which $16200 was utilised in 2022. In May 2023, $6200 was used which totals to 22,400. So in ARR will i include 22,400 0r 6,200?
Hi - difficult to advise without knowing more about your specific situation, and what you are using your reporting for. However, here are some (hopefully) helpful points to bear in mind: Remember that ARR isn't necessarily a way to record contract utilization. It's a way of expressing the annual value of the revenue you expect to continue into the future. Generally speaking, ARR is a metric used to record revenue that is predictable and stable. (That's why it’s commonly used by subscription businesses, where the annual subscription is a fixed amount.) It sounds like you’re looking for a way to report on contract value and/or contract utilization - particularly for fixed-term contracts, where the amount of revenue utilized is not always consistent each year. ARR may not be the best metric for measuring this. Perhaps you could explore 'revenue recognition' models. - Dale
