Customer Retention Calculator
Enter customers at the start and end of a period, plus customers acquired during it, to separate retention from growth.
Your result
Use the same period for all counts. This assumes a customer is counted once and does not distinguish reactivations.
How it works
Retained customers = end customers − new customers. Retention = retained ÷ starting customers. Churn = 1 − retention.
Common questions
Why subtract new customers?
New customers were not in the starting group, so they should not inflate retention of that group.
Can retention exceed 100%?
Not for a simple customer count. If it does, check definitions or reactivations.
