How long until you hit your MRR goal?

Growth compounds, so the answer is usually further away than founders guess - and closer than they fear once the rate is real. Enter where you are, where you're going and how fast you're growing; the calculator shows the month you arrive, a month-by-month projection, and the rate you'd need to make a specific deadline.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to reach $10k MRR?

It depends entirely on starting point and growth rate. From $2,000 at 12% a month it takes about 15 months; at 20% a month about 9. Many bootstrapped SaaS products take one to three years.

How is the projection calculated?

MRR next month = MRR this month × (1 + growth rate), repeated until the goal is reached. Months to goal = log(goal ÷ current) ÷ log(1 + rate), rounded up.

Can I race other founders to my goal?

Yes - HitMRR runs races where founders with Stripe-verified MRR compete to reach a goal like $10k first. Every figure is read from Stripe, not self-reported.
