Formula
Revenue = subscribers × price, net = gross × (1 − cut ÷ 100)= 5950
Note
This is a simplified model: it applies the counts, rates, prices and fees you enter to plain arithmetic. Every platform cut, payment fee, CPM, royalty per play and commission rate is a value you supply, because no platform's revenue share, advertising rate or payout rate is fixed: they change over time and differ by country, contract, category, audience and season. Engagement, open, click and unsubscribe rates are the standard definitions, but each platform and email tool counts interactions, reach, delivered mail and opens differently, so a rate is only comparable against numbers counted the same way; image-blocking and privacy features in particular make open rates unreliable. Revenue estimates ignore taxes, withholding, currency conversion, refunds, chargebacks, invalid traffic, minimum payout thresholds and payment delays. The churn projection assumes a constant monthly churn rate and a constant number of new subscribers, which real audiences never follow. Treat every figure as a rough planning estimate, not a forecast of what you will be paid, and check your own platform statements and any contract before relying on it. This is not financial, tax or legal advice.

How is total subscription revenue calculated?+
Multiply the number of active subscribers by the subscription price per period. 2,000 subscribers paying $5/month generates $10,000 in monthly subscription revenue before any platform cut or refunds.
Should I use gross subscriber count or net (after cancellations) for this calculation?+
Use your current active subscriber count at the time of billing, not lifetime signups — cancelled subscribers stop generating revenue, so including them would overstate your actual income.
Does this figure account for different subscription tiers?+
Only if you calculate each tier separately and add the results — a single calculation assumes one uniform price, so a base tier and a premium tier need to be run through the formula independently, then summed for total revenue.
Why doesn't my actual bank deposit match this calculated revenue?+
This is gross revenue before deductions — platform fees, payment processing fees, taxes, refunds, and failed payments (churn within the billing cycle) all reduce the amount that actually reaches your account.
How do I project next month's subscription revenue?+
Take this month's subscriber count, adjust it using your churn rate and expected new signups (the churn-adjusted-subscribers calculator handles this step), then multiply the projected subscriber count by your price per period.
