Northstar SaaS Growth Dashboard Template

Northstar closes the month for a SaaS business with MRR movement, cohort revenue retention, CAC by channel, feature adoption, and account health.

Northstar is a single-file HTML dashboard template for SaaS growth reporting. It runs a monthly close for a fictional company, Fathom Analytics, across five tabs: Revenue, Retention, Acquisition, Product, and Accounts. June 2026 closed at $383,400 MRR, a $4.60M ARR run rate, across 1,048 accounts.

Revenue opens with an MRR movement waterfall for June: $13,000 net new MRR, 3.5% month-over-month growth, a quick ratio of 2.2, and expansion covering contraction 3.0x. MRR by plan splits Starter at 418 accounts and $89 ARPA, Growth at 489 and $349, Scale at 141 and $1,245. Retention shows a cohort triangle of revenue retention by signup month, NRR at 108% against a 110% target, GRR at 91%, and churn reasons for 16 lost accounts. Acquisition prices CAC by channel from $234 for partner referrals to $2,455 for outbound, blended at $819, with LTV to CAC ratios from 6.9:1 down to 1.9:1. Accounts flags 5 expansion-ready customers worth roughly $2,100 in monthly expansion and a renewals timeline of $43,620 in Q3.

Who Northstar is for

Northstar gives heads of growth the monthly close on the Revenue tab, with the MRR waterfall and the pace-to-$5M-ARR stat of 3 months.

Founders check the dials: NRR at 108% and GRR at 91%, then drill into the December cohort that still lags.

Marketing leads defend spend with the CAC table, comparing content at $384 per customer against outbound at $2,455.

Customer success leads work the Accounts tab, triaging the 5 expansion-ready accounts and the health score distribution with a median of 72.

When to reach for it

Northstar fits a SaaS business whose monthly business review means stitching exports from billing, CRM, and product tools into a deck. The five tabs already follow the review order: revenue, retention, acquisition, product, accounts.

Pick it when investors ask for cohort retention and you have only a logo-level chart. The cohort triangle shows revenue retention by signup month with net expansion marked above 100%.

Pick it when you are scoping a metrics stack and want the definitions settled first: quick ratio, NRR, LTV to CAC on a 36-month gross-margin basis, all printed next to their numbers.

Frequently asked questions

Does Northstar compute the SaaS metrics or just display them?

Northstar computes the SaaS metrics rather than only displaying them. The file ships with consistent computed demo values, so the waterfall, quick ratio, and retention cells reconcile with each other. The calculation logic sits in the script, and replacing the input arrays with your billing data recomputes the displays.

What does the cohort triangle actually measure?

The cohort triangle measures revenue retention, not logo retention: each cell is the percent of a signup cohort's month-0 MRR still present in a later month. Cells above 100% are tinted to mark net expansion, and hovering a row isolates that cohort.

Can I export the numbers for a board or investor update?

Yes, you can export the numbers for a board or investor update. The header holds an Export brief button, and the churn-reasons panel carries a Copy list action. The layout is print-friendly, so the close can also go straight to PDF from the browser.

Is Northstar free?

No, Northstar is priced at $6.99 and is one of the newest templates in the catalog. The full preview works in the browser before purchase, and six other templates are free.
