# What is MRR

MRR stands for _Monthly Recurring Revenue_. This stat is the amount of money generated by subscriptions.

### **The Math:**

(Total Active Subscribers) x (Price of Subscription) = Total Monthly Recurring Revenue

### **Examples:**

If you have 100 monthly subscribers paying $97/mo., your MRR would be $9,700/mo.

If you have 100 annual subscribers paying $970/yr., your MRR would be $8,083.33/mo.
(annual $97,000 / 12 months)

### **What It Means:**

MRR is essentially the foundation of revenue that you generate on an average month. MRR is primarily used as a valuation metric for the health of subscription and software companies.

MRR is not the same as Cashflow. Cashflow is the actual projected revenue, whereas MRR is the average monthly revenue.
