By tracking growth metrics, you can uncover potential problem areas, as well as possible avenues for revenue growth and much more.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we will discuss the 10 most crucial growth metrics you should be tracking. Let&#8217;s look at what they are!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"9f8a7\">What are growth metrics?<\/h2>\n<p>A growth metric is a performance indicator that measures business growth over a given period.<\/p>\n<p>These key metrics aren&#8217;t just restricted to any single business area. Instead, they measure different aspects of your company&#8217;s performance, from conversion rate to customer churn rate and everything in between.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"51amo\">Why should you track growth metrics?<\/h2>\n<p>There are several reasons why you should track growth metrics.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, these metrics provide valuable insights into the long-term success of your business strategies and marketing efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from this, these key performance indicators also provide you with concrete data to base decisions on instead of simply following hunches.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"7a8qc\">Important growth metrics to track revenue growth<\/h2>\n<p>Revenue growth and revenue generation are the most basic metrics that most companies track.<\/p>\n<p>These metrics highlight the future stability of a company and point out any signs of financial distress. Let&#8217;s discuss these metrics in further detail and explain how to calculate them.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4fv9s\">Customer acquisition cost (CAC)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/customer-acquisition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Customer acquisition<\/a> is a term that includes all the steps and strategies a company employs to acquire a new customer.<\/p>\n<p>Acquisition typically means having the customer purchase your product or service. So customer acquisition cost (CAC) is the total amount a company spends to acquire a new customer.<\/p>\n<p>Tracking customer acquisition costs helps evaluate sales performance and the effectiveness of your acquisition funnel. It is also useful in calculating the return on investment for each new customer acquired.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image strchf-type-image regular strchf-size-regular strchf-align-center\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-static.userpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cac_3b125aa44eac772853337f91bf16df99_800.png 1x\" media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-static.userpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cac_3b125aa44eac772853337f91bf16df99_800.png 1x\" media=\"(min-width: 769px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-static.userpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cac_3b125aa44eac772853337f91bf16df99_800.png\" alt=\"Formula for CAC\" \/><\/picture><figcaption>Customer acquisition cost (CAC) calculation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 id=\"3nb6b\">How to calculate customer acquisition cost<\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>To calculate CAC, you need to divide the total acquisition cost by the total number of new customers acquired during a given period.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All expenses related to sales and marketing efforts will fall under total acquisition costs.

This financial data can also be used to make better forecasts about future revenues.<\/p>\n<p>A similar concept is the annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth rate, which companies also use for the same purpose, except over a longer time period.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image strchf-type-image regular strchf-size-regular strchf-align-center\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-static.userpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/monthly-recurring-revenue_f03428a9bff1f0f5dc9c7b5c469c058c_800.png 1x, https:\/\/images.storychief.com\/account_6827\/monthly-recurring-revenue_f03428a9bff1f0f5dc9c7b5c469c058c_1600.png 2x\" media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-static.userpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/monthly-recurring-revenue_f03428a9bff1f0f5dc9c7b5c469c058c_800.png 1x, https:\/\/images.storychief.com\/account_6827\/monthly-recurring-revenue_f03428a9bff1f0f5dc9c7b5c469c058c_1600.png 2x\" media=\"(min-width: 769px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-static.userpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/monthly-recurring-revenue_f03428a9bff1f0f5dc9c7b5c469c058c_800.png\" alt=\"Formula for MRR\" \/><\/picture><figcaption>Monthly recurring revenue (MRR) calculation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 id=\"3afh9\">How to calculate monthly recurring revenue<\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>Calculating MRR is simple, you just multiply your average revenue per account by the total number of active users the company has in that month.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get confused by what average revenue per account is, it is essentially the same as average revenue per user, which is another growth metric we will discuss next.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"co86v\">Average revenue per user (ARPU)<\/h3>\n<p>The name for this one is pretty self-explanatory; ARPU is the amount of revenue you can expect to be generated per customer, on average, during a specific time period.<\/p>\n<p>ARPU is amongst the most useful <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/saas-metrics-growth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SaaS growth metrics<\/a> because it helps companies understand their revenue potential and identify high-value customers.<\/p>\n<p>This, in turn, can lead to a better-informed <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/saas-pricing-models\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pricing model<\/a> and sales budget.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image strchf-type-image regular strchf-size-regular strchf-align-center\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-static.userpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/average-avenue-per-user-1_8f3e9f38590d9adefa7a510e685f2a17_800.png 1x\" media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-static.userpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/average-avenue-per-user-1_8f3e9f38590d9adefa7a510e685f2a17_800.png 1x\" media=\"(min-width: 769px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-static.userpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/average-avenue-per-user-1_8f3e9f38590d9adefa7a510e685f2a17_800.png\" alt=\"Formula for APRU\" \/><\/picture><figcaption>Average revenue per user (ARPU) calculation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 id=\"51qfp\">How to calculate average revenue per user<\/h4>\n<p>You may have noticed that the calculation of MRR above included the use of ARPU.<\/p>\n<p>Simply switching that formula around, we get the calculation for average revenue per user.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>To measure ARPU, just divide your MRR for a specific month by the total number of active, paying customers during the same month.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 id=\"a40p\">Customer lifetime value (LTV)<\/h3>\n<p>Customer lifetime value is a measure of how much profit the company can expect to earn from a customer over the course of their, ideally long-term, relationship with the business.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/calculate-lifetime-value-saas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Calculating LTV<\/a> will help your company redirect resources in the right direction toward high-value customers, resulting in more revenue over time.
