Estimate how much monthly revenue your newsletter keeps after percentage-based platform and payment fees plus recurring operating costs. Use the result to compare pricing or membership scenarios without treating gross sales as spendable income.
The annualized result multiplies the monthly estimate by 12 and assumes the inputs stay unchanged.
Use the main result as a planning estimate tied to the assumptions entered. Compare scenarios with the same definitions and period rather than treating the output as a guaranteed outcome.
This calculator is an operational estimate. It does not include taxes or costs you do not enter.
With 500 paying members at $9, gross revenue is $4,500. A 10% fee removes $450, and $750 of other costs leaves $3,300 net per month, or $39,600 annualized.
No. Add taxes to other monthly costs if you want them reflected, because tax treatment varies.
Convert expected annual-plan receipts to a monthly average and use that as the monthly price per member.
You can fold an expected percentage into the fee rate or include a monthly dollar estimate in other costs.
Fixed costs can exceed the revenue remaining after percentage fees, especially with few members.
It is a simple run-rate estimate that assumes the current monthly inputs repeat for 12 months.
