How we calculate this

Break-even members = monthly fixed costs ÷ (revenue per member − variable cost per member), rounded up. Estimated operating surplus = members × contribution per member − fixed costs.

What should I do with the result?

Compare a cautious case and a realistic case. Change one assumption at a time, then save both. These estimates support planning; they are not verified forecasts or funding decisions.
