Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good revenue growth rate for a SaaS company?
For public SaaS companies, growing 20%+ year-over-year is generally considered strong. Hypergrowth-stage companies (under $500M ARR) often target 40–80%+. At $1B+ ARR, sustaining 15–20% growth is considered excellent. The benchmark shifts with scale.
Why does revenue growth slow as a SaaS company scales?
Revenue growth naturally decelerates as the absolute revenue base grows larger. A company growing from $10M to $20M ARR must add $10M in new ARR — the same absolute amount as growing from $100M to $110M (just 10% growth). Maintaining percentage growth rates requires exponentially larger absolute additions.
What is the Rule of 40 and how does it relate to revenue growth?
The Rule of 40 adds revenue growth rate to FCF margin. A company growing 30% YoY needs only 10% FCF margin to score 40. Revenue growth is the primary driver of the Rule of 40 for early-stage SaaS companies — its weight decreases as companies mature and profitability becomes the differentiator.

Year-over-year (YoY) revenue growth is the percentage increase in total revenue compared to the same period in the prior year. For public SaaS companies, this is typically reported each quarter and represents the primary indicator of business momentum — the speed at which a company is expanding its customer base and monetization.
Formula: Revenue Growth YoY = (Current Period Revenue − Prior Year Period Revenue) / Prior Year Period Revenue × 100
What good looks like: Hypergrowth-stage SaaS companies (typically under $500M ARR) often grow 50–100%+ annually. At scale ($1B+ ARR), sustaining 20–30% growth is considered strong. The "Rule of 40" combines growth rate with FCF margin — a company growing 30% YoY only needs 10% FCF margin to score 40.
