Report: MRR Movements

The MRR Movements report shows how your Monthly Recurring Revenue has developed over time, breaking it down by movement type — New Business, Expansion, Reactivation, Contraction, and Churn.

For SaaS businesses, it's an essential diagnostic tool: rather than just showing a single MRR number, it reveals exactly where revenue is being gained and lost each period, making it easier to identify what's driving growth or holding it back.

If you're new to ChartMogul, get to know how reports work.

Screenshot of the MRR Movements chart showing monthly MRR movements as vertically stacked bands. New Business, Expansion, and Reactivation are blue. Contraction and Churn are pink. A tool tip points to the Churn MRR of one of the months. The tool tip shows the movement amount and the number of movements with percentage changes in parentheses as well as the date range.

Report Notes

Each vertically-stacked band represents a specific MRR movement type. New Business, Expansion and Reactivation are blue. Contraction and Churn are pink. Blue represents MRR growth and appears above $0. Pink represents the loss of MRR and appears below $0. MRR grew in a period when the combined height of the blue bands is greater than the pink.
Diagonally-striped bars include the current period (today) and, thus, are an estimate until the period is over.
Toggle between the default (MRR) and annualized (ARR) view. The report title and Report Data values update accordingly. Learn more.
