How to calculate customer churn rate
Why customer churn rate matters for Chargebee users
Even modest churn rates compound quickly, requiring ever-larger acquisition volumes just to maintain flat revenue. Reducing churn is typically more cost-effective than increasing acquisition.
Chargebee users can segment churn by cancellation reason, plan type, and tenure to build targeted retention strategies rather than applying blanket interventions.

Subscription BillingMetric Definition
Revenue Churn Rate = (Churned MRR / Start-of-Period MRR) × 100

NRR = ((Start MRR + Expansion - Contraction - Churn) / Start MRR) × 100
Net revenue retention (NRR) measures the percentage of recurring revenue retained from existing customers, including expansions, contractions, and churn. An NRR above 100% means existing customers generate more revenue than they did a year ago.
