1. Churn Rate  

Churn rate refers to attrition i.e., the percentage of customers who unsubscribe from a product or service within a period. You can calculate the churn for any period such as monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis.

Formula:

Churn Rate = (number of customers who have unsubscribed / total number of customers at the start of the period)* 100

2. Retention Rate

Retention rate refers to the percentage of subscribers who continue to use the product or service during a given time period. You can calculate the retention rate for any period such as monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis.

Formula:

Retention Rate = ((number of customers at the start of the period + number of new customers added number of customers who unsubscribed during period) / number of customers at start of period) * 100

3. Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)

Monthly recurring revenue (MRR) is the income that a business can rely on every month. It enables in measuring the predictable recurring revenue components of your subscription business. You can simply sum the fees paid by individual customers who have subscribed for a monthly plan. 

Formula:

MRR = SUM(Monthly subscription fee of customers)

4. Average Revenue Per Unit (ARPU)  

Average revenue per user/unit gives you an account of the average revenue gained from a user/unit. This can be calculated on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis.

Formula:

ARPU = Total Revenue earned during the period / Total number of Subscribers in that period

5. Life Time Value (LTV)

Life Time Value (LTV) is the total revenue gained from the customer while he is subscribed to the business. This can be calculated on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis.

Formula:

LTV = Average contribution of the customer during the period * (1/Churn rate during the period)
