Customer cohort retention Calculator

Separate retained customers from new acquisitions and calculate churn. This free customer cohort retention calculator shows the calculation and its assumptions so you can compare your own figures.

How the customer cohort retention calculation works

Retained original customers = ending customers − new customers. Retention = retained ÷ starting cohort.

New customers must be active at period end; use cohort data when newly acquired customers also churn during the period.

Using this calculator

  1. Enter your own figures in the labelled inputs. Keep the currencies, units and time periods consistent.
  2. Choose any applicable rate profile, pattern or assumption shown for this tool. Open additional inputs when relevant.
  3. Review retention percent and churn percent and net customer growth percent, then read the stated assumptions and eligibility conditions before using the result.
