💡 Practical Example
For example, starting with $45,000 MRR ($540,000 ARR) and compounding at 8.5% MoM for 18 months: \^{18} = 45,000 \times 4.34245 = \mathbf{\$195,410.00/\text{month}}\). Ending ARR reaches $2,344,920.00/year, adding +$150,410.00 in Net New MRR. MRR doubles every 8.5 months.
📖 About SaaS MRR Growth, ARR Trajectory & T2D3 Scale Calculator
Venture Capital Scaling: What is the T2D3 Path to a Unicorn SaaS?
Popularized by venture capitalist Neeraj Agrawal of Battery Ventures, T2D3 describes the canonical growth trajectory for a venture-backed SaaS company to grow from 1 Million to 100+ Million in ARR over 5 years:
- Triple (Year 1): 1M ARR 3M ARR (≈ 9.6% MoM growth).
- Triple (Year 2): 3M ARR 9M ARR.
- Double (Year 3): 9M ARR 18M ARR (≈ 6.0% MoM growth).
- Double (Year 4): 18M ARR 36M ARR.
- Double (Year 5): 36M ARR 72M - 100M ARR (IPO readiness).
How to Use This Calculator
Enter your Calculation Goal — choose from Project Future MRR & ARR from Monthly Growth %, Find Required MoM Growth % to Reach Revenue Milestone, Current Starting MRR ( / month) (e.g. 45000), Target Milestone MRR () [for Mode 2] (e.g. 250000 (e.g. 3M ARR milestone)), Expected Month-over-Month Growth Rate (MoM %) (e.g. 8.5), and Time Horizon (Number of Months) (e.g. 18). Results update instantly as you type — adjust any value to compare scenarios.
The Formula
SaaS compound MRR growth & ARR trajectory formulas: Ending MRR = Starting MRR × (1 + g_MoM)^n MoM Growth Rate (\%) = [((Target MRR) / (Starting MRR))^1/n - 1] × 100\% Recurring Revenue (ARR) = Ending MRR × 12 Compound Growth Rate (\%) = [(1 + g_MoM)^12 - 1] × 100\% of 72 Doubling Time (Months) = (72) / (MoM Growth Rate (\%))
Worked Example
For example, starting with 45,000 MRR (540,000 ARR) and compounding at 8.5% MoM for 18 months: \^18 = 45,000 × 4.34245 = \195,410.00/month. Ending ARR reaches 2,344,920.00/year, adding +150,410.00 in Net New MRR. MRR doubles every 8.5 months.
Understanding Your Result
Benchmark monthly churn rates for SaaS: Best-in-class below 0.5%, good 0.5–1%, average 1–2%, above 2% requires urgent attention. Annual churn above 24% (2% monthly) means the business replaces its entire customer base every 4–5 years — growth becomes a treadmill. Net Revenue Retention (NRR) above 100% means existing customers expand faster than they churn — the most powerful growth lever available. Top-quartile SaaS companies have NRR above 120%. Monthly churn of 1% compounding annually equals 11.4% annual customer loss.
