What does this template do?

Reconcile opening monthly recurring revenue with new, expansion, contraction, and churn amounts.

Ending MRR equals opening plus new and expansion less contraction and churn. Net revenue retention excludes new customers and divides the retained existing-customer MRR by opening MRR.

Inputs are recurring monthly run rates, not cash collections or total contract value. Use one consistent customer cohort for opening, expansion, contraction, and churn.

The working tab keeps editable inputs separate from formulas, with room for 60 records. The Notes tab explains the method and how to extend the range. All example records are fictional and can be replaced. Download a workbook format to retain formulas, or CSV when you need calculated values only.

What’s inside

  • Ending MRR equals opening plus new and expansion less contraction and churn. Net revenue retention excludes new customers and divides the retained existing-customer MRR by opening MRR.
  • 60 prepared record rows with blank-row guards
  • Blue input cells, typed dates and numbers, and frozen column headers
  • Notes with the method, assumptions, and range-extension instructions

What formulas does this template use?

This template holds 122 formulas in 172 cells across 2 tabs, so 71% of its cells calculate. They use 5 distinct functions; the longest formula is 100 characters.

FunctionUsesWhat it does

COUNTA1counts non-empty cells

Counted from the workbook itself. Only functions that Excel, LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets and Apple Numbers evaluate the same way are used, so the formulas survive every download format.

How do you use it?

  1. Replace the fictional records in blue cells with your own data. Keep the dark formula cells.
  2. Use the units stated in the column headers and keep each record on one row.
  3. Read the calculated columns and inspect the results before using them. Clear unused input rows; keep their formulas.
  4. The prepared range holds 60 records in rows 11–70. Extend formulas and summary ranges together if you add more rows.

What is it good for?

  • Reconcile opening monthly recurring revenue with new, expansion, contraction, and churn amounts
  • Replacing the labeled fictional records with your own figures
  • Checking a calculation before adapting it to a larger workbook

Questions about this sheet

How is the result calculated?

Ending MRR equals opening plus new and expansion less contraction and churn. Net revenue retention excludes new customers and divides the retained existing-customer MRR by opening MRR.

What assumptions should I check?

Inputs are recurring monthly run rates, not cash collections or total contract value. Use one consistent customer cohort for opening, expansion, contraction, and churn.

Can I add more than 60 records?

Yes. Copy the formula columns into new rows and extend every summary range to include them. Keep inputs and formulas in their original columns.

Are the example records real?

No. All example data is fictional and intended to demonstrate the formulas. Replace it before using the workbook for your own work.
