What Is Committed MRR (CMRR)?

Definition

Committed MRR (CMRR) is monthly recurring revenue adjusted for known future changes — adding signed contracts that haven't started yet and subtracting churn you already know is coming. It gives a more forward-looking run rate than plain MRR by reflecting commitments, not just what's billing today.

Key takeaways

  • CMRR = current MRR + signed-but-not-started − known upcoming churn.
  • It's a more forward-looking run rate than standard MRR.
  • Useful for planning when you have visible future contract changes.

How to calculate CMRR

CMRR = Current MRR + Signed (not yet started) − Known Future Churn

MRR vs CMRR

MRR is a snapshot of what's billing now; CMRR folds in what you already know is about to change. If you've signed a big contract starting next month and know a customer is leaving at renewal, CMRR reflects both — making it a steadier planning number.
