Committed MRR (CMRR)
Committed MRR is current MRR plus signed deals that haven't started, minus cancellations customers have already scheduled.
Updated October 1, 2026
Committed MRR (CMRR) is MRR adjusted for changes that are already agreed but not yet live. It adds signed deals that start soon and subtracts cancellations customers have already scheduled. The result shows where recurring revenue is heading.
How to calculate CMRR
CMRR = current MRR + signed new and expansion MRR − scheduled churn and contraction
Current MRR is $40,000. You have signed $5,000 of new subscriptions that start next month. Two customers worth $2,000 combined have said they will cancel at renewal. CMRR = $40,000 + $5,000 − $2,000 = $43,000, while live MRR is still $40,000.
Why it matters
- Scheduled cancellations and downgrades show up before renewal day, not on it.
- CMRR is a better base than a single MRR reading for forecasting and for forward ARR.
- It counts signed bookings that haven't started billing, which matters when deals have delayed start dates.
CMRR vs MRR
MRR shows what is active today. CMRR adds what is already committed, in both directions. The gap between them previews your next MRR movements: signed expansion that will raise MRR, or scheduled churn that will lower it.
