50,000 monthly revenue, 2,500 active users: 20 ARPU. Benchmarks vary — SaaS B2B 50-500, B2C subscriptions 5-25, freemium 1-10. Rising ARPU signals upsell success. Falling ARPU signals discount addiction or downmarket drift.
Quick example
With monthly revenue of 50,000 and active users of 2,500, the result is 20.00. Change any figure and watch the output shift — it's often more useful to see the pattern than to memorise the formula.
Which inputs matter most
You enter Monthly Revenue and Active Users. Not every input has equal weight. Flip one at a time toward extreme values to feel which ones move the needle most for your situation.
What's happening under the hood
Standard ARPU formula. The formula is listed in full below. If the number looks off, you can retrace the calculation by hand — that's the point of showing the working.
Using this as a check-in
Re-run this every three months. A single reading tells you where you stand; four readings tell you whether things are improving. The trend matters more than any individual snapshot.
What this doesn't capture
The score is a composite of the inputs you provide. Life context — job security, family obligations, health, housing — doesn't appear in the math but shapes the real picture. Use the number as a prompt, not a verdict.
Where to go next
This calculation rarely sits alone in a planning exercise. If you're running these numbers, you'll probably also want the mrr calculator, the saas ltv cac ratio calculator, and the customer churn cost calculator — each one answers a different question in the same territory. Treating them as a set rather than in isolation usually produces a more honest picture.
ARPU produces a per-user figure based on the inputs provided.
