Net Revenue

Money! Everyone loves money! 💰

Written by Baremetrics

What is Net Revenue? 🤔

Net Revenue is money in the bank, so to speak. It shows you how much money you were paid, broken out by day.

How is it calculated? 🤷‍♀️

Our formula is simple:
Gross Volume (Recurring and Non-recurring) - Refunds = Net Revenue

How are refunds handled?

We record all charges and adjustments, including refunds, on the day they are posted. This means if a refund is issued today for a charge from last month, it affects today's net revenue, not the previous month's. This approach keeps each month's total stable and unchanged after the month ends, ensuring a consistent overview.

What about fees?

Baremetrics does not remove fees from Net Revenue. Instead, fees can be viewed separately in the fees metric.

How is Net Revenue different from MRR? 📢

  1. Non-monthly plans are not normalized. So if you have a $1,200/year signup, that revenue will show up in Net Revenue as "$1,200".

  2. Non-recurring charges are included.

Looking for Traditional Accounting Revenue?

If you need traditional 'Accounting Revenue' figures as seen in conventional Profit and Loss (P&L) statements, Baremetrics offers a solution with Forecast+. This tool integrates with Xero and Quickbooks and allows you to view your financials in a format familiar to those used in traditional accounting, providing a comprehensive and compliant financial overview for your business.

Why is my Net Revenue different from Stripe? 💵

Stripe doesn't account for refunds. Also, we report in UTC, whereas your Stripe dashboard may be localized to your time zone. This means we may report revenue on a different day than Stripe.
