Committed MRR (CMRR) Calculator

Committed monthly recurring revenue, or CMRR, is a forward looking version of your MRR that adjusts today's recurring revenue for changes you already know are coming. This calculator takes your current MRR, adds the recurring revenue from contracts you have signed but not yet started, then subtracts the recurring revenue you expect to lose from confirmed churn and downgrades. The result is a cleaner picture of where your recurring revenue will sit once those committed movements take effect, which is far more useful for planning than a single snapshot of current MRR. Founders, finance leads and SaaS operators use CMRR to forecast cash, set hiring plans and brief boards or investors, because it captures momentum that a simple MRR figure hides. To use it, enter your current MRR, the committed monthly additions from signed deals and trials that have converted, and the committed monthly losses from notified cancellations and downgrades. The tool returns your CMRR and an annualised figure so you can talk in both monthly and yearly terms. A few good habits make CMRR reliable. Only count adds that are genuinely contracted, not pipeline you hope to close, or you will overstate the number. Be just as disciplined about losses and include every notified cancellation, since ignoring them flatters the figure. Review CMRR monthly and reconcile it against your billing system so the inputs stay honest. Keep one off and non recurring revenue out entirely, because CMRR is about the predictable subscription base, not project fees. Used consistently, CMRR becomes a steady early warning signal for both growth and risk.

Committed MRR (CMRR)
Annualised CMRR$660,000
Net committed change$5,000

CMRR = current MRR + committed adds - committed losses. Annualised CMRR = CMRR x 12. Estimate only, not financial or tax advice.

How it works

CMRR starts with your current MRR, adds the recurring revenue from committed expansions, then subtracts the recurring revenue from confirmed churn and downgrades. The annualised figure is CMRR multiplied by twelve. Net committed change is simply adds minus losses.

Worked example

With current MRR of $50,000, committed adds of $8,000 and committed losses of $3,000, CMRR is $50,000 plus $8,000 minus $3,000, which is $55,000. Annualised CMRR is $55,000 times 12, which is $660,000. The net committed change is $5,000.

Frequently asked questions

How is CMRR different from MRR?

MRR is your recurring revenue right now, while CMRR adjusts it for changes you already know about. CMRR adds signed expansions that have not started and subtracts confirmed churn and downgrades. It is a forward looking view of your committed base.

What should I count as a committed add?

Only revenue from contracts that are signed or trials that have firmly converted. Pipeline you hope to win does not belong in CMRR. Keeping the bar high stops the figure being overstated.

How do I annualise CMRR?

Multiply your monthly CMRR by twelve to get an annualised figure. This is sometimes called committed ARR. It assumes the committed base holds steady across the year.
