Pro Tips

  • Renewal rate measures the percentage of contracts or subscriptions that were successfully renewed out of those up for renewal
  • This differs slightly from retention rate, which often measures the broader customer base rather than just contracts due for renewal in a specific window
  • Track renewal rate by contract size or customer segment to spot patterns - larger accounts often renew at different rates than smaller ones
  • A declining renewal rate trend is often an early warning sign worth investigating before it affects overall revenue

Most Popular

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between renewal rate and retention rate?

Renewal rate specifically measures contracts that came up for renewal in a given window, while retention rate typically measures your entire customer base over a period, regardless of contract terms.

What's considered a good renewal rate?

This varies widely by industry, but many B2B subscription businesses aim for renewal rates of 80-90% or higher.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. All calculations happen instantly in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you enter is transmitted anywhere.

Should downgrades count as a renewal?

This tool treats renewal as binary (renewed or not), but if you want a more nuanced view that accounts for downgrades, consider using the Net Revenue Retention Calculator instead, which factors in revenue changes.
