How to use this calculator

  1. Enter values from one consistent reporting period.
  2. Adjust editable rates to match your policy, platform, or funnel.
  3. Select Calculate and review the main result plus supporting metrics.
  4. Change one assumption at a time to compare scenarios.

Formula

Net monthly receipts = members × price × (1 − refund rate) × (1 − platform share). Monthly revenue per fan = net monthly receipts ÷ tracked fan base. Annual revenue per fan = monthly value × 12.

What the result means

The main result summarizes the scenario created by the entered values. Supporting results expose the components so you can identify which assumption drives the outcome.

This calculator provides an estimate for planning. Confirm platform terms, policy wording, fees, taxes, and accounting treatment with the appropriate provider or adviser.

Example calculation

With 800 members at $4.99, 30% platform share, 2% refunds, and 75,000 tracked fans, net monthly receipts are $2,738.51 and monthly revenue per fan is about $0.0365.

Tips for better results

  • Use recent, documented values rather than optimistic guesses.
  • Keep the reporting period consistent across every input.
  • Test a conservative and an optimistic scenario.
  • Update rates whenever policy or platform terms change.
  • Save the assumptions alongside the result for later comparison.

Frequently asked questions

Which audience or loss period should I use?

Use one consistent monthly or annual period matching the labels and your planning records.

Can I enter zero for an input?

No. Add taxes to costs or deductions only when they apply to your situation.

How should percentages be entered?

Enter the displayed percentage as a whole number, such as 5 for 5%.
