Logo Retention Rate: Measure the share of beginning customers retained through the period.
Age 5Explain it to a 5-year-oldStart with a picture
Imagine using Logo Retention Rate to answer this question: measure the share of beginning customers retained through the period? Enter Customers at start of period, Customers retained from start, New customers added, and 1 other input; the calculator shows Logo retention rate. Try changing one number and watch what happens to Logo retention rate. The answer tells you Logo retention rate.
Age 15Explain it to a 15-year-oldConnect it to the formula
Exclude newly acquired customers from the retention numerator and define mergers or duplicate-account closures consistently. The rule is Logo retention = retained beginning customers ÷ beginning customers × 100. Its input values are Customers at start of period, Customers retained from start, New customers added, Customers at end of period, and the main result is Logo retention rate. Try changing one number and watch what happens to Logo retention rate.
CollegeExplain it at college levelState the model precisely
This tool models one operating decision from explicitly supplied company assumptions. The implemented relation is Logo retention = retained beginning customers ÷ beginning customers × 100, evaluated from Customers at start of period, Customers retained from start, New customers added, Customers at end of period to produce Logo retention rate. Exclude newly acquired customers from the retention numerator and define mergers or duplicate-account closures consistently. The model omits unentered taxes, cash timing, legal constraints and market uncertainty. Compare the output with company records and a downside scenario before committing resources.
The decision this tool supports
Measure the share of beginning customers retained through the period.
Why the business model works
Exclude newly acquired customers from the retention numerator and define mergers or duplicate-account closures consistently.
Inputs and operating assumptions
This model uses Customers at start of period, Customers retained from start, New customers added, Customers at end of period. Keep currencies, accounting treatment and time periods consistent with one another.
The formula
Logo retention = retained beginning customers ÷ beginning customers × 100
What the calculator produces
The primary output is Logo retention rate; it also exposes Net customer growth, Customer reconciliation difference. Change one assumption at a time so the comparison remains explainable.
Before using the result in a decision
This compact model cannot capture every tax, accounting, legal, market or operational condition. Compare the output with current company records, cash timing and the downside scenario before committing resources.
