Mathematical Audit

Subscription Churn & LTV Formula

Models subscriber lifetime value using churn rate, pricing, and platform fees, with monthly revenue projections.

Avg Lifespan (months) = 1 ÷ Monthly Churn Rate
Net Price = Monthly Price − (Monthly Price × Platform Fee %)
LTV = Net Price × Avg Lifespan
Monthly Profit = (Subscribers × Net Price) − Content Cost
Month N Subscribers = Subscribers × (1 − Churn Rate)^N

Instagram takes up to 30% of subscription revenue. Average monthly subscription churn is 5-8%. Top-performing creators achieve under 5% monthly churn.
