Analyzing the Causes of Revenue Churn
RCR is a metric that measures changes in customer spending. Revenue churn may be caused by order cancellations or plan downgrades, among other changes in customers’ behavior.
RCR is an important metric for you to understand, because it describes how much money you are losing (or not earning) after acquiring new customers.

- January MRR1 $97
- January downgrades $1
- January upgrades $2
- NET {[(100 – 97) + 1] – 2} / 100
- 2% (0.02)
