ARR (annual recurring revenue)

Monthly recurring revenue multiplied by twelve.

It is a run rate, not a forecast, and not what you actually collected over the last year. It says: if nothing changed at all, this is what a year looks like.

That distinction matters most when a company has just landed one large customer. Multiplying a single unusual month by twelve produces a headline number the business cannot yet stand behind.
