Monthly Recurring Revenue is the term for the monthly revenue that comes from active subscriptions. It represents the predictable, recurring income a subscription business earns each month, excluding one-time charges and non-subscription revenue. You calculate it by summing the monthly charges across all active subscriptions, while accounting for upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations that affect recurring revenue. In practice, this metric is often abbreviated as MRR, which is why it’s the standard shorthand you’ll see in analyses and reports. This makes it the best answer because it specifically captures the recurring, month-to-month aspect of subscription-derived income. Other phrases like Revenue Per Month are too generic, and Monthly Revenue Rate isn’t a recognized term for this concept.
