Analytical Proof & Invariants
Machine PrecisionGoverning Mathematical Formula:
Customer Churn % = (Customers Lost / Starting Customers) × 100
Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation
1
Monthly Logo Churn Formulation
Customer Churn Rate c_mo = Lost Customers / Starting Customers. Measures account attrition rate.
2
Compound Annualized Churn Curve
Because churn compounds each period, annualized churn is non-linear: c_annual = 1 - (1 - c_mo)¹². For example, 2.5% monthly churn produces 1 - (0.975)¹² = 26.24% annual account loss.
3
Net Revenue Retention (NRR)
NRR = [(Starting MRR - Churned MRR + Expansion MRR) / Starting MRR] × 100%. NRR above 100% indicates that expansion revenue outpaces churn.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Gross Churn and Net Churn?
Gross churn only measures lost dollars from cancellations and downgrades. Net churn subtracts expansion revenue from retained accounts, allowing net churn to be negative (which is ideal).
What is Net Negative Churn?
Net negative churn occurs when upsells and expansion from retained customers exceed the revenue lost from churned customers (NRR > 100%). Your business grows even with zero new customer acquisition.
