Committed MRR Forecast
The Committed MRR Forecast projects your Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) into the future based on scheduled subscription changes — such as planned upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations.
It provides a more forward-looking view of revenue than standard MRR, helping teams anticipate growth or contraction before it happens. Use it to forecast MRR and ARR, analyze upcoming movement types, and proactively reach out to customers scheduled to churn.
CMRR is available for use with Recurly, Stripe, the latest version of our Chargebee integration and custom sources.

Before you begin
- Committed rows use scheduled subscription events to calculate MRR. Subscription events are currently supported for Recurly, Stripe, Chargebee (latest version) and custom sources.
- For Recurly, New Business and Reactivation are not reported in the forecast as Recurly does not support the Start (Scheduled) subscription event type.
Reading a Committed MRR Forecast
Access the Committed MRR Forecast by navigating to Reports > Recurring Revenue > Committed MRR Forecast.
This forecast is a snapshot of current and committed MRR. As scheduled subscription events become MRR movements, they are added to the Current MRR.
Each column is a month. The first month shows the remainder of the current month.
ChartMogul breaks down Committed MRR into five standard MRR movement types:
Total Committed MRR — the total value of new revenue resulting from scheduled subscription events in the month.
Total Committed MRR (Cumulative) — a running total of Total Committed MRR showing month-over-month new revenue growth resulting from scheduled subscription events.
Current MRR — current monthly recurring revenue, calculated using invoice data. Same as MRR.
Forecasted MRR (Cumulative) — a running total of projected monthly recurring revenue (MRR) in that month and year. (The sum of Total Committed MRR (Cumulative) and Current MRR)
Total Committed ARR (Cumulative) — the sum of Total Committed MRR (Cumulative) × 12
Current ARR — current annual run rate, calculated using invoice data. Same as ARR.
Forecasted ARR (Cumulative) — a running total of projected annual run rate in that month and year. (The sum of Total Committed ARR (Cumulative) and Current ARR)
