5 $50K-$100K MRR-Specific Retention Strategies

// Net Revenue Churn = (Churned MRR + Contraction MRR - Expansion MRR) / Starting MRR
// Negative = good (expansion exceeds losses)

interface RevenueChurnInput {
  startingMRR: number;
  churnedMRR: number;        // Revenue lost from cancellations
  contractionMRR: number;    // Revenue lost from downgrades
  expansionMRR: number;      // Revenue gained from upgrades/seats
}

function calculateNetRevenueChurn(input: RevenueChurnInput): number {
  const { startingMRR, churnedMRR, contractionMRR, expansionMRR } = input;
  const netChurn = (churnedMRR + contractionMRR - expansionMRR) / startingMRR;
  return Math.round(netChurn * 10000) / 100; // Percentage
}

// Example: $75K MRR SaaS
const churn = calculateNetRevenueChurn({
  startingMRR: 75000,
  churnedMRR: 3000,        // 4% gross churn
  contractionMRR: 750,     // $750 in downgrades
  expansionMRR: 4500,      // $4,500 in upgrades + seats
});

console.log(`Net Revenue Churn: ${churn}%`); // -1.0%
// Negative! Existing base is growing $750/mo without new sales

// Without expansion focus:
const withoutExpansion = calculateNetRevenueChurn({
  startingMRR: 75000,
  churnedMRR: 3000,
  contractionMRR: 750,
  expansionMRR: 1500,      // Only $1,500 in upgrades
});

console.log(`Without expansion: ${withoutExpansion}%`); // 3.0%
// Positive = shrinking. You need new sales just to stay flat.
