What the result means

Newsletter growth depends on both acquisition and churn. A high unsubscribe rate can quietly erase subscriber gains.

Net Growth = New Subscribers − Current Subscribers × Unsubscribe Rate; Future Subscribers = Current Subscribers + Net Growth × Months

For larger lists, model churn as subscribers change over time. This calculator gives a simple planning estimate.

Example calculation

With 10,000 subscribers, 700 new monthly subscribers, and 1.5% monthly unsubscribes, net monthly growth is 550.

Tips for better results

  • Improve lead magnets and signup placement.
  • Reduce unsubscribe rate with better onboarding.
  • Track engaged subscribers, not only total list size.
