Chart: Annual Run Rate (ARR)
The Annual Run Rate (ARR) chart tracks the annualized equivalent of your Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) over time — calculated simply as MRR × 12.
For SaaS businesses, ARR is one of the most widely used benchmarks for measuring business scale and growth trajectory, making it a key metric for investors, board reporting, and goal-setting. Use this chart to monitor ARR momentum and compare your growth against industry peers.
