Calculate Total Contract Value and Monthly Recurring Revenue

This topic describes how to 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 may 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 charge though a recurring charge is not considered.

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

Note: Subscription Management Cloud application calculates MRR and TCV after excluding any discounts that you may have applied as charge adjustments. MRR and TCV will not be calculated for evergreen subscriptions

Subscription Management Cloud application uses the following equation to calculate MRR:

MRR= Total Recurring Charge Amount/No of months in subscription term

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

Example 1:

Consider a product called Analytics Subscription is 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 which gives a 50% discount for the first three months

Total number of months = 1x12 = 12 months

Total recurring charges collected = 0.5x1000x3 +1000x9 =10500

MRR=10500/12 =875

TCV = $10500

Example 2:

Consider a product called CX Subscription is 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 = 5000x3 +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: 12x1 + 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
