Visualize How Your ARR Changes Quarter by Quarter

Annual Recurring Revenue is the headline metric for every SaaS company, but a single ARR number at the end of the quarter does not tell the full story. What drove the growth? How much came from new customers versus expansion? How much was lost to churn and contraction? The ARR Bridge Model Builder on ToolDeft breaks your ARR movement into its component parts, creating a waterfall view that shows exactly how you got from the beginning of the period to the end.

What Is an ARR Bridge?

An ARR bridge (sometimes called an ARR waterfall) decomposes the change in ARR between two dates into four categories: new ARR from first-time customers, expansion ARR from existing customers who upgraded or added seats, contraction ARR from existing customers who downgraded, and churned ARR from customers who cancelled entirely. Starting ARR plus new plus expansion minus contraction minus churn equals ending ARR. This bridge is a standard fixture in SaaS board decks, investor updates, and financial planning documents.

How the ARR Bridge Model Builder Works

Enter your starting ARR and the four movement components for each period. The ARR Bridge Model Builder generates a clear waterfall visualization showing how each component contributed to the overall change. You can add multiple periods to see trends over time, and the tool calculates derived metrics like net new ARR, net revenue retention rate, and gross churn rate from the bridge data.

The tool also supports building forward-looking bridges. Enter your projected new business, expansion, contraction, and churn rates for future quarters, and the tool generates a projected ARR trajectory. This is invaluable for annual planning and fundraising deck preparation.

Who Builds ARR Bridges?

Finance teams create ARR bridges for every board meeting and investor update. It is arguably the most important chart in the SaaS board deck because it tells the complete growth story in a single visual.

Revenue operations leaders use the bridge to diagnose growth dynamics. If ARR grew 30% but new ARR declined while expansion ARR surged, that tells a very different strategic story than if the growth was entirely new-business-driven.

CEOs and founders use ARR bridges to communicate company performance to investors, employees, and advisors. The bridge format is universally understood in SaaS and immediately conveys whether growth is healthy and balanced.

FP&A analysts build projected ARR bridges for budgeting and scenario planning. By modeling optimistic, expected, and conservative assumptions for each bridge component, they can create revenue ranges that inform hiring plans and spending decisions.

Practical Example

A SaaS company starts Q1 with $5M ARR. During the quarter, they close $600K in new ARR, generate $300K in expansion from existing customers, lose $150K to contraction (downgrades), and $200K to churn (cancellations). Ending ARR is $5.55M, representing 11% quarterly growth. But the bridge reveals that churn accelerated from $120K last quarter to $200K this quarter, which is a troubling trend masked by strong new business performance. The ARR Bridge Model Builder makes this dynamic visible so the leadership team can address churn before it erodes growth further.

Building Better ARR Bridges

Segment your bridge by customer segment when possible. Enterprise and SMB customers often have very different expansion and churn dynamics. A blended bridge can mask segment-specific problems or opportunities.

Include the bridge in every monthly or quarterly operating review. Consistency in reporting builds organizational muscle around understanding and acting on ARR dynamics. When everyone on the team reads the bridge the same way, conversations about strategy become more productive.

Compare your bridge components to benchmarks. Top-quartile SaaS companies have gross revenue retention above 90%, net revenue retention above 110%, and expansion revenue representing at least 30% of new ARR. The ARR Bridge Model Builder helps you see exactly where you stand relative to these targets.

Use the projected bridge to set targets for sales, customer success, and product teams. New ARR is primarily a sales and marketing target. Expansion is shared between sales and customer success. Contraction and churn are primarily customer success and product quality targets. When each team owns a component of the bridge, accountability becomes clear.

The ARR Bridge Model Builder runs entirely in your browser, ensuring that your sensitive revenue data and strategic projections stay completely private. Build, analyze, and present your ARR story with confidence.
