Recurring Revenue

Recurring revenue is the predictable amount of income a business can expect to continue receiving in the future.

This metric is mostly used in subscription businesses and is tightly connected to the company's retention rate.

Unlike one-off sales, recurring revenue is consistent, predictable, regular and can be counted on with a high degree of certainty.
