Gym Revenue & Membership Pricing Calculator

What MRR, churn, and break-even actually mean for a gym

MRR (monthly recurring revenue) is your membership income normalized to a monthly figure, regardless of whether members pay monthly, quarterly, or yearly — it's the number that tells you what to expect next month, not just this month. Churn is the share of members who cancel each month; even a small churn rate compounds significantly over a year if new signups don't keep pace. Break-even members is the minimum number of paying members needed just to cover your monthly expenses, before any profit.

How to use this calculator

Add each membership plan you offer — name, price, billing period, and how many active members are on it. Add your joining fee and how many new members you expect per month, any personal training revenue, your estimated monthly churn rate, and your monthly expenses by category. Everything updates automatically, including a 12-month member count projection based on your churn and new-member assumptions.

Worked example

200 members on a $40/month plan, no joining fees or personal training, and $6,000 in monthly expenses gives an MRR of $8,000, a monthly profit of $2,000, and a break-even point of 150 members — meaning the gym stays profitable as long as membership doesn't fall below that.

Common mistakes

The most common mistake is ignoring churn when projecting growth — if you're gaining 10 new members a month but losing 5% of your base to cancellations, your net growth is much slower than "+10 members" suggests, and at high enough churn, membership can actually shrink even while you're signing up new people every month. A second is treating MRR as the whole revenue picture; joining fees and personal training can be meaningful income streams that don't show up in a pure membership-price calculation, which is exactly why they're broken out separately here.
