SaaS Trial Conversion Calculator

How much MRR/ARR are your unconverted SaaS trials costing you?

This tool is private. Your data stays in your browser. Nothing is stored and nothing is sent to our servers. All calculations run locally on your device.

Most SaaS founders know their trial conversion rate. But they never run the SaaS trial conversion math on what those unconverted trials actually cost.

It's not just one missed payment - every lost SaaS trial is a customer who would have paid you month after month.

Plug in your numbers below. This MRR calculator works out how much your trial conversions add, how much you're leaving on the table, and how much a small improvement would be worth.

How this is calculated

New MRR = converting SaaS trials per month x monthly price. Lost MRR = unconverted SaaS trials per month x monthly price. ARR = MRR x 12. These figures show the recurring revenue added (or missed) each month and do not account for churn. These are simplified estimates. Actual revenue depends on plan mix, expansion revenue, annual contracts, and other factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good SaaS trial conversion rate?

A typical SaaS trial conversion rate falls between 15% and 25%, but it varies widely depending on your product, pricing, and trial length. PLG products with shorter trials often convert higher because users self-select. If you're below 10%, there's usually room to improve onboarding or trial messaging.

How is trial conversion rate calculated?

Trial conversion rate = (number of trials that became paid customers / total number of trials) x 100. For example, if 50 people start a trial and 8 convert to a paid plan, your conversion rate is 16%. Track this monthly to spot trends.

What's the difference between MRR and ARR?

MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) is the total predictable revenue you collect each month from active subscriptions. ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) is simply MRR multiplied by 12. MRR is more useful for tracking month-to-month growth, while ARR is commonly used when reporting to investors or benchmarking against other SaaS companies.

How to use this calculator

This calculator shows how much recurring revenue your trial conversions generate, how much you lose from unconverted trials, and what a small improvement would be worth.

Your Inputs

New SaaS trials per month

The number of people who start a free trial each month. Default: 50 (range: 10 - 1,000).

Trial to paid conversion rate

The percentage of trial users who become paying customers. Most SaaS products see 5-25%. Default: 10% (range: 1% - 50%).

Monthly plan price

What you charge per month for your paid plan. If you have multiple plans, use your most popular one. Default: $49 (range: $5 - $500).

Your Results

New MRR / ARR from conversions

The monthly and annual recurring revenue generated by trials that do convert. Calculated as: converting trials per month x monthly price. ARR is MRR x 12.

Lost MRR / ARR from unconverted trials

The revenue you miss out on every month from trials that don't convert. Calculated as: unconverted trials per month x monthly price. This shows the recurring cost of every lost trial.

What if you converted more?

Use the "Extra trials converted" slider to see how much additional MRR and ARR you'd gain by converting a few more trials each month. The slider caps at your current unconverted trial count.

Tips

  • These are simplified estimates - actual revenue depends on churn, plan mix, and expansion.
  • The "lost" numbers aren't money you had and lost. They're the opportunity cost of unconverted trials.
  • Even converting 1-2 extra trials per month compounds significantly over a year.
