About Retention Rate
Formula: Retention Rate = ((End Customers - New Customers) ÷ Start Customers) × 100
If you don't track new customers separately, use: Retention Rate = (End Customers ÷ Start Customers) × 100
Why Retention Matters
- Cost efficiency: Acquiring new customers costs 5-25x more than retaining existing ones
- Revenue impact: A 5% increase in retention can boost profits by 25-95%
- Compounding effect: Even small monthly improvements compound significantly over time
Retention vs Churn
Retention and churn are two sides of the same coin: Retention Rate + Churn Rate = 100%
If your monthly retention is 95%, your monthly churn is 5%.
