Renewal Rate
Description
The renewal rate is also known as the customer renewal rate. It highlights the rate at which a business can further extend customer relationships. This is largely applicable to subscription or membership business structures. Expressed as a percentage, the renewal rate indicates a company’s growth prospects and its ability to derive long-term value for its clients.
Example
It is calculated as the number of customers up for renewal in a given period divided by the number of customers who renew their contract. Suppose, in January 2022 Vareto had 7 clients up for renewal, 6 of them renewed their contracts. Thus, Renewal Rate = 6 / 7 = 86%.
Why it matters
The renewal rate helps companies to understand whether their existing customers are satisfied with the product or service and are willing to continue paying for it.
