How it works

Projected MRR = current MRR × (1 + monthly growth)^months. ARR = MRR × 12.

Recurring revenue compounds: 8% monthly doesn't add 96% in a year, it multiplies you by 2.5×. This is why small differences in monthly growth rate produce wildly different year-end outcomes — and why investors obsess over the rate, not the current number.

The classic mistake is treating this projection as a plan. Growth rates decay as you get bigger: the channels that got you from $5k to $10k rarely get you from $100k to $200k. Use this to see what your current trajectory implies, then ask what has to stay true for the rate to hold.

Worked example

You're at $10,000 MRR growing 8% per month. After 12 months: $10,000 × 1.08^12 ≈ $25,182 MRR, or about $302,000 ARR. That's $15,182 of net new MRR — compounding did the multiplication, but every dollar of it still has to be sold.
