How we calculate MRR from Stripe
Active subscriptions, interval normalization, and growth vs last month - the exact model behind every card.
MRR is the sum of active subscription line items normalized to a monthly amount. Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly intervals are converted using standard multipliers so a yearly plan doesn’t inflate a single month unfairly.
ARR is simply MRR × 12 at the snapshot time. Customers are unique Stripe customer IDs with at least one active subscription.
Growth compares current computed MRR to the previous calendar month’s recurring invoice total (subscription_cycle / create / update). If history is thin (new accounts), growth may show as zero or a large jump from zero - both honest outcomes.
The chart on your editor is that monthly series. Export always re-reads the server-side snapshot so a client can’t ship forged numbers.
