The same metric can also be calculated on an annual basis (Annual Recurring Revenue). This can make sense, for example, when the minimum subscription period is one year.

Example
A company gets €50 revenue each from 200 users and €100 from 20 premium users per month.
(50€ x 200) = 10,000€
+ (100€ x 20) = 2,000€
