Average Contract Value (ACV) is a key sales metric that represents the average annual revenue generated per customer contract. It standardizes revenue across contracts of different lengths by converting them into a yearly value, making it easier to compare deal sizes and evaluate sales performance.
ACV is widely used in B2B, SaaS, and subscription-based businesses to measure the quality and value of deals being closed. Unlike total contract value (TCV), which reflects the entire contract value, ACV focuses specifically on the annualized portion of that revenue.
ACV = Total Contract Value ÷ Contract Duration (in years)
If a customer signs a 3-year contract worth $90,000:
ACV = $90,000 ÷ 3 = $30,000

A SaaS company notices its ACV increasing quarter over quarter. This indicates that sales teams are successfully targeting larger enterprises or bundling higher-value services, leading to stronger revenue growth.
ACV is a critical metric for understanding average deal size on a yearly basis, especially in recurring revenue models. It provides clarity on revenue quality, supports strategic decision-making, and helps businesses scale efficiently.
