How to use

- Enter Average retainer value.
- Calculate, then review the period, scope and assumptions before using the result for pricing or planning.
How it is calculated
Monthly recurring revenue = retainers × average retainer value
Example
Eight monthly retainers averaging 5,000 give 40,000 monthly recurring revenue and 480,000 annualized if count and value remain stable.
Important notes
Annualized recurring revenue is not a guarantee; renewals, client losses or price changes can make actual yearly revenue differ.
Worked examples and interpreting results
| Case | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly recurring | 8 × 5000 | 40,000 |
| Annualized | 40000 × 12 | 480,000 |
Frequently asked questions
Should one-off projects be included?
Not when measuring recurring revenue only; keep one-off projects separate and add them in total revenue forecasts.
Is the result a mandatory client price?
No. It is a planning result from your inputs; final pricing depends on scope, market, contract, taxes and risk.
Should I use monthly or annual figures?
Keep all inputs on the same period so annual income is not mixed with monthly hours or expenses.
