Newsletter Revenue Calculator accuracy and testing

Formula source

• Retained paid subscribers = paid subscribers x (1 - churn rate). Subscription revenue = retained paid subscribers x monthly price. Estimated monthly revenue = subscription revenue + sponsor revenue - payment fees - fixed fees - production cost.
