Common Membership Calculations


Does the thought of having to calculate retention, churn, or the cost of acquiring a new member make your head hurt? For many association pros, crunching numbers is (unfortunately) a part of their daily grind. You don’t have to be a math person to use these 7 common calculations to determine everything from renewal rates to average length of membership.

Retention Rate


Retention Rate is the percentage of members retained over a given period of time. This metric can be calculated if you know how many members you had at the beginning of a period, and many you had at the end of a period.

CALCULATION: (End Count - New Members) ÷ Start Count = Retention Rate

Start Count and End Count can be found by using the Active members report Dashboard > Membership Tab > Active Members > View Detailed Report. Generate the report for the desired date range. NOTE: This report is only updated on Mondays, so it will not do an exact month/year.

  1. Click Dashboard in the left-hand navigation panel.
  2. Click the Membership tab.
    DB Membership Tab.JPG
  3. In the Active Members section, click view detailed report
    Retention Report1.JPG
  4. Set the Date From and Through to the desired date range. NOTE: This report is only updated on Mondays, so it will not do an exact month/year.
  5. Click Refresh Listing. The start counts and end counts will be displayed on the left of the graph.

New Members can be found by going to Dashboard > Membership tab > New Members > View Detailed Report.

  1. Click Dashboard in the left-hand navigation panel.
  2. Click the Membership tab.
    DB Membership Tab1.jpg
  3. In the New Member section, click view detailed report.

  5. Click View Report.
MemJoins.JPG

(1208 - 201) ÷ 1173 = .85 85% Retention Rate

Lapse Rate (Churn)


The Lapse Rate (Churn) is the percentage of members that discontinue their membership over a given period of time.

CALCULATION: Dropped Members ÷ Start Count = Lapse Rate

Dropped members can be found by going to Dashboard > Membership tab > Dropped members:

  1. Click Dashboard in the left-hand navigation panel.
  2. Click the Membership tab.
    DB Membership Tab2.jpg
  3. In the Dropped Members section, click view detailed report.
    Mem Listing by Drop Date.JPG
  4. Enter the Drop Date From and To for the desired date range. NOTE: You will use a Start Count as described above for the calculation, so the date range should be the same used to determine the start count.
  5. Click View Report.
MemDrops.JPG

Start Count is calculated as described in the Retention Rate calculation, described above.

Retention55.jpg

(185 ÷ 1173) = .15 15% Lapse Rate

Renewal Rate


Renewal Rate is the percentage of members that renew their membership over a given time period.

CALCULATION: # of Renewals ÷ Eligible Members = Renewal Rate

Your # of Renewals can be found using the Receipts by Member Report:

  1. Click Billing in the left-hand navigation panel.
  2. Click the Reports tab.
    Billing Reports Tab.JPG
  3. In the Sales section, click Payment/Receipts by Member.
    Pay Receipt by Member.JPG
  4. Select Dues in the Fee Item Type drop-down.
  5. In the Payment Date Between and And fields, filter for payments made in the desired date range (example 1-1-2017 – 12-31-2017)
  6. Enable Member Join Date Before and enter the first date in your desired date range (1-1-2017).
  7. Click View Report.
  8. Click the excel link to export the report, to easily count the # of Renewals. Members that paid Member Dues during the specified date range and that were members previous to the Member Join Date Before date are considered a Renewal.

Eligible Members can be found by using the Sales by Member report:

  1. Click Billing in the left-hand navigation panel.
  2. Click the Reports tab.
    Reports Sales by Member.jpg
  3. In the Sales section, click Sales by Member.
    Sales by Member Summary.JPG
  4. Set the Sale Date From and To for the desired date range (example 1-1-2017 – 12-31-2017)
  5. Set the Member Join Date from your earliest Member Join Date (example: 1-1-1990). NOTE: You can use the Custom Member report to find your earliest join date.
  6. Set the Through date to the day just prior to the specified date range (12-31-2016).
  7. Set the Item Type to Member Fees/Dues.
  8. Click Refresh Report.
  9. Download the report results to Excel, to count the members that were invoiced this will be the Eligible Members.

Example:

# Renewals = 273
# Eligible Members = 326
Calculation: # of Renewals ÷ Eligible Members.
273 ÷ 326 = .83 83% Renewal Rate

Average Membership Tenure (AMT)


Average Membership Tenure is the average length of time a member stays with the organization. This can be useful in projecting expected membership tenure for new members

CALCULATION: 1 ÷ Lapse Rate = AMT

Lapse Rate is calculated as shown in Lapse Rate (Churn), shown above.

1 ÷ .15 = 6.66

Average Membership Tenure in Years is 6.66 years.

Member Lifetime Value (MLV)


Member Lifetime Value (MLV) is the measure of monetary value of member based on projected length of membership.

Calculation: Net member-paid revenue ÷ # of members x AMT = MLV


To get Net member-paid revenue you need to total all dues and non-dues revenue generated by your members. To find this, use the Payment / Receipts by Member report and filter to Active Member Status for the specific date range and do not filter out any items (include all dues and non-dues).

  1. Click Billing in the left-hand navigation panel.
  2. Click the Reports tab.
    Billing Reports Tab.JPG
  3. In the Sales section, click Payment/Receipts by Member.
    Pay Receipts.JPG
  4. Select Any in the Fee Item Type drop-down.
  5. Enter the desired date range in the Payment Date Between/And text boxes.
  6. Select Active from the Member Status drop-down.
  7. Click View Report.

The Grand Total displayed on the final page of the report is the member paid revenue. To get the Net-member paid revenue, you need to subtract your operating costs from the Grand Total total. You can get your operating costs from your accountant. NOTE: It's critical to subtract operating costs from revenue to establish net member-generated revenue when calculating MLV.

The End Count can be obtained from the Retention Rate calculation, described above.

AMT can be obtained from the Average Membership Tenure (AMT), described above.

Example:

In 2017, there were 3,000 total members who collectively invested $550,000 in dues and contributed $325,000 in non-dues revenue. The operating costs were $650,000 and the organization’s AMT (average membership tenure) was 17 years.
  1. $550,000 + $325,000 = $875,000 (dues revenue plus member-generated nondues revenue)
  2. $875,000 – $650,000 = $225,000 (total member-generated revenue minus total operating costs)
  3. $225,000 ÷ 3,000 = $75 (net member-generated revenue divided by number of members)
  4. $75 x 17 = $1,275 (average member contributed revenue x AMT)
MEMBER LIFETIME VALUE = $1,275

Member Acquisition Cost (MAC)


Member Acquisition Cost (MAC) is the total monetary cost associated with recruiting a new member. To effectively maintain and/or grow an organization, it is necessary to assign an average monetary value to potential membership sales.

Total recruitment cost ÷ # of new members = MAC
Calculate the # of new members as described in Retention Rate above.
The Total Recruitment cost would be available from your accountant.

Example:

At the end of 2017, 75 new members had joined and $28,875 was spent on new member recruitment.
$28875 ÷ 75 = $385
MEMBER ACQUISITION COST = $385

MLV to MAC ratio


The MLV to MAC ratio is the measurement of the relationship between the lifetime value of a member and the cost of acquiring that member. Best Practice: Aim for 3:1 as the target ratio.

CALCULATION: MLV : MAC

Calculate your Member Lifetime Value (MLV) and Member Acquisition Cost (MAC) as described above.

Example: In 2017, the average lifetime value per member was $1,275. $32,000 was budgeted for member recruitment and $28,875 was spent. Breaking down those numbers further means the budgeted recruitment cost was $425/ new member and the actual recruitment spend was $385/ new member.
  • Goal ratio = 3 : 1 ($1,275 : $425)
  • Actual ratio = 3.3 : 1 ($1,275 : $385)

Quarantined Invalid Email Address


The Quarantined Invalid Email Address report provides a list of all emails that have been marked as invalid, and removed from your database. Due to increased vigilance from outside organizations that rank email sender reputation, having a clean email address list is very important to ensure all of our customers can continue to communicate reliably to their members. The following types of addresses would be considered invalid: Addresses where the syntax is incorrect (e.g. multiple @ symbols, extra space, etc.), the domain of the email address doesn't exist, the address of the recipient no longer exists on the receiving server, and when the MX record of the domain itself doesn't exist. These are all cases where the email would never make it through to anyone.

The report consists of two sections: Emails Quarantined and Will Be Quarantined. The report includes the email address, name of member or rep, the member/rep ID, location in the database the address has been removed from (clicking the location will take you to the page in the database where the email was used), reason why the address was removed, date of removal.

One Row.png

NOTE: The system needs to check ALL email addresses in your database, because they can still be included in emails you send out. This includes all active, courtesy, non-members, dropped/inactive, and prospects in your database. You can modify the report results to only include a particular status, for example Active, as shown below.
