What’s in a stripe retention dashboard?

What’s in a stripe retention dashboard?

A Stripe retention dashboard is the single governed view of how well a company keeps and grows its existing revenue, modeled directly from Stripe subscription objects: net revenue retention (including expansion), gross revenue retention (excluding expansion), and the MRR movements — new, expansion, contraction, churn — that drive them. Every metric reconciles to a subscription event in Stripe, so the number on the slide is the number in billing.

Stripe shows you subscription counts and MRR in its dashboard, but it does not break retention into NRR versus GRR by segment, or show you which cohort started contracting three months ago. When you model retention from the subscription movements in Stripe — expansion, contraction, and churn MRR against the starting base — you see both the growth and the leakage before the blended number hides it.

Who it’s forCFOs, finance leads, and heads of customer success who use Stripe and own the retention number.

Here's your stripe retention dashboard, on your Stripe data.
Here’s what’s in it

The top row leads with the 4 numbers that matter most: Net revenue retention, Gross revenue retention, Expansion MRR, Gross revenue churn. Each shows a delta versus the prior period so you can see direction at a glance. Below that, 2 trend charts (NRR over time, Net new MRR by movement) show how the headline numbers have moved over time. A breakdown (Expansion by segment) splits the metric by dimension so you can see what's driving the total. A detail table (Retention summary) rounds it out with the secondary metrics and their deltas. Every number is computed from the exact formulas shown in the metric table below. Composites are derived from their components, not pasted in, so the KPI tiles, breakdowns, and totals all reconcile to each other.

§ Why the numbers tie out

Every metric traces back to your systems

This is the part a BI tool can’t fake. Each metric is defined once, in your warehouse, from a specific object in a specific source. Change the definition in one place and every tile, report, and answer moves with it. So the number on the screen is the number in the source.

MetricWhat it measuresHow it's calculatedSources
Net Revenue RetentionThe clearest read on whether the product keeps earning its price: how much revenue this year's cohort of customers is worth versus last year, after expansion, contraction, and churn net out.(prior MRR + Expansion MRR − Contraction MRR − Churned MRR) ÷ prior MRRStripe
Gross Revenue RetentionThe share of recurring revenue you'd retain with zero expansion, the floor under the base once upsell is stripped out.(prior MRR − Contraction MRR − Churned MRR) ÷ prior MRRStripe
Gross Revenue ChurnRecurring revenue lost to downgrades and cancellations, before any offsetting expansion.Contraction MRR + Churned MRRStripe
Net New MRRHow much your recurring revenue actually grew this month after new business, expansion, contraction, and churn net out, the single number that says whether the base is compounding.New MRR + Expansion MRR − Contraction MRR − Churned MRRStripe
Logo ChurnThe share of customers who left this month, counted by logo rather than by dollars.Churned Customers ÷ prior CustomersStripe
§ Then do something about it

Have our agent watch for you

A stripe retention dashboard tells you what happened, and Fi tells you why. The last step is not having to remember to check. Point Definite at the one number you can’t afford to miss, and it watches that number for you off the same definitions as your dashboard. When it moves, you hear about it before the next review instead of during it. One metric, one action, always reversible.

§ FAQ

Common questions

Usually because Stripe's built-in MRR metric counts a movement on the billing-cycle date, while a spreadsheet or BI report may use the cancellation request date or the account update date. This dashboard models retention from the subscription event timestamps in Stripe, so NRR and GRR are governed definitions tied to billing, not re-derived.
Stripe for subscription movements — new, expansion, contraction, and churn MRR. That is the only required source. If you also connect your CRM, Definite adds segment and account context to the retention view.
It is a live ECharts dashboard running on a deterministic synthetic dataset, labeled illustrative. NRR is computed from the MRR movements by the formula in the metric table, not pasted in. Connect your Stripe account, and Fi builds the same view from your subscriptions.
Type a prompt like the one above. Fi models the retention metrics on your Stripe subscriptions, and you refine by asking follow-ups. The first version ties retention back to billing without a spreadsheet.
Gross revenue retention only counts what you lost — contraction and churn MRR from Stripe subscriptions — against the starting base, so it caps at 100%. Net revenue retention adds expansion back in, so it can exceed 100% when existing accounts upgrade faster than they churn. Both come from the same Stripe subscription movements on this dashboard.
