Calculate Total Contract Value and Monthly Recurring Revenue

Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) is a key metric for subscription businesses. It denotes the amount of revenue that a company might expect to receive monthly. Total Contract Value (TCV) is the sum of all recurring and one-time charges that a company will receive from a subscription.

Usage charges though recurring charges aren't considered.

When you add a product to a subscription, Subscription Management calculates the MRR and TCV for the product based on the applicable term and any applied discounts.

Note: Subscription Management calculates MRR and TCV after excluding any discounts that you might have applied as charge adjustments. MRR and TCV aren't calculated for evergreen subscriptions

Subscription Management uses the following equation to calculate MRR:

MRR = Total recurring charge amount, divided by the number of months in the subscription term.

Here are some examples of how MRR and TCV are calculated in Subscription Management:

Example 1:

Consider a product called Analytics Subscription that's added to a subscription for a term of 1 year. The product has a monthly charge of $1000 and a charge adjustment has been applied that gives a 50% discount for the first three months.

Total number of months = 1 x 12 = 12 months
Total recurring charges collected = 0.5 x 1000 x 3 + 1000 x 9 = 10500
MRR = 10500/12 = 875
TCV = $10500

Example 2:

Consider a product called CX Subscription that's added to a subscription for a term of 10 months. The product has a quarterly charge of $5000.

Total number of months = 10 months
Total recurring charges collected = 5000 x 3 + 5000/3 = 16667.67
MRR = 16667.67/10 = 1666.67
TCV = $16667.67

Example 3:

Now let’s consider that a product called HCM Subscription is added to a subscription for a term of 1 year and 23 days. The product has a yearly charge of $20000.

Total Number of Months: 12 x 1 + 23/31 = 12.742
Total recurring charges collected: 20000 + 20000/12*23/31 = 21236.56
MRR: 21236.56/12.742 = 1666.67
TCV: $21236.56
