Formula and method

TCV = monthly recurring amount × contract months + one-time fees; recurring ACV = monthly recurring amount × 12.

Assumptions and limitations

Cancellations, variable usage, taxes and accounting revenue-recognition rules are outside this model.

Worked example

With monthly recurring contract amount = 1000, contract months = 24, one-time fees = 2000, total contract value is approximately 26000.

What the result means

ACV here excludes one-time fees and is a run-rate normalization rather than recognized revenue.
