Calculation Method
Calculate ARR per FTE — top SaaS $300k-1M per employee. Verify formula consistency across periods to enable trend tracking. Mix metrics: no single number tells the whole story; pair with NRR, GRR, and Rule of 40 for full health view.
Benchmarks and Tiers
Top quartile SaaS companies are tracked annually by Bessemer Cloud Index. Median private cohort and public-SaaS medians diverge; private companies often lag public by 2-3 years on metric maturity.
Improvement Strategies
Iterate on the input drivers — increase numerator (revenue, customers, expansion) or decrease denominator (churn, CAC, cycle days). Track quarterly to detect declining trends early.
