| Your Stage | Typical Monthly Growth | Time to $10K MRR |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-$1K MRR | 15-25% (unbounded) | 12-18 months |
| $1K-$5K MRR | 8-15% (scaling) | 6-12 months |
| $5K-$10K MRR | 5-10% (compounding) | 3-6 months |

The calculator uses compound monthly growth rate (CMGR) formula. Actual results vary based on churn, seasonality, and market changes. For best accuracy, update your numbers monthly.
Early-stage SaaS (under $10K MRR) should target 15-25% monthly growth. At $10K-$100K MRR, 10-15% monthly growth is considered strong. Above $100K MRR, 5-10% monthly growth is healthy.
The calculator uses net growth rate. For more accurate projections, enter your net growth rate (new revenue minus churned revenue) rather than gross growth.
