Salesforce statistics (updated 2026): revenue, net income, RPO, employees and key facts

Salesforce is a cloud software company best known for customer relationship management (CRM). Founded in 1999 and headquartered in San Francisco, Salesforce sells a broad suite of applications for sales, service, marketing, commerce, analytics, integration, and collaboration—built around the idea of “Customer 360.”

Because Salesforce doesn’t publish a single “active user” figure, the most reliable way to track its scale is through audited metrics like revenue, profitability, operating cash flow, and Remaining Performance Obligation (RPO), which represents contracted revenue not yet recognized.

Answer box: Salesforce’s latest audited full-year results (FY 2025, ended Jan 31, 2025) show $37.9B in total revenue, $6.2B net income, and $13.1B operating cash flow. Salesforce reported $63.4B total RPO (with $30.2B current RPO) and ended the year with 76,453 employees.

Salesforce customers (what’s verifiable vs. what’s not)

Salesforce often states that over 150,000 companies/customers use Salesforce. This figure is useful as a general scale indicator, but it is not a consistently audited KPI in the same way as revenue or RPO.

What these trends mean

1) Salesforce is still growing, but the best leading indicator is contracted revenue (RPO)

Revenue shows what was recognized this year. RPO shows what’s already under contract and expected to become revenue in future periods. At the end of FY 2025, Salesforce reported $63.4B total RPO and $30.2B current RPO.

2) Profitability improved sharply versus FY 2023

Salesforce’s net income rose from $208M (FY 2023) to $4.136B (FY 2024) and then to $6.197B (FY 2025). While year-to-year results can be affected by non-cash items, the multi-year direction shows improved profitability.

3) Cash generation remains a major strength

Salesforce reported $13.092B in operating cash flow in FY 2025. For large subscription software companies, operating cash flow is one of the most important “quality of earnings” measures.
