Calculating future renewal revenue from active WooCommerce subscriptions

The Future Renewals Report shows you upcoming renewal revenue from your active WooCommerce subscriptions. Use it to forecast cash flow, plan inventory, and understand what subscription revenue you can expect over any date range.

Unlike historical reports, this report looks forward — predicting when renewals will occur and how much revenue to expect based on your active subscriptions' billing schedules.

Access the report

1

Go to the Future Renewals Report

Navigate to https://app.metorik.com/reports/subscriptions-future or find it under Analytics → Subscriptions → Future Renewals.

Select your date range

Use the date picker at the top to choose the period you want to forecast. You can select from default ranges (like Next 30 days or This month) or set a custom date range.

You can control which default date ranges appear in the dropdown from your store's date settings.

Understanding Renewals vs. Unique Subscriptions

The report predicts multiple renewals for single subscriptions. This means Renewals can exceed Unique Subscriptions — especially over longer date ranges.

Example: A monthly subscription renews on the 26th of each month. If your date range is September 23 – October 31, that subscription will have 2 renewals (September 26 and October 26) but counts as only 1 unique subscription.

This distinction is important when interpreting the numbers:

  • Renewals = Total renewal events scheduled in the period

  • Unique Subscriptions = Distinct subscriptions contributing to those renewals
