How it works

The formula

New customers are taken out of the end count so only the ones you already had remain. Start with 500, end with 520 after adding 70 new: 450 were kept, which is 90%.

retention = (end − new) ÷ start × 100

Related figures

Churn is the other side, 100% minus retention. The tool also gives customers kept and lost, and overall customer growth, which counts the new ones.
