What Is ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue)?

ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) is a key business metric that shows the predictable yearly income a company generates from recurring subscriptions or contracts.

ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) Meaning

The ARR meaning focuses on stability and growth visibility. To define ARR in practice, it represents the total value of recurring revenue a business expects to earn over 12 months, excluding one-off sales. A clear ARR definition helps founders measure traction, forecast cash flow and benchmark performance over time. Investors also rely on ARR to assess scalability, valuation and long-term sustainability, especially in SaaS and subscription-based models. ARR stands for predictable growth and is a core indicator of business health.
