Live data from our database. Net = gross MRR (members × monthly price) − Skool Pro fees (2.9% + $99/mo). Matches the figures on /skool after the standard fee deduction.
How to Estimate Skool Community Revenue
The standard formula is: Paid Members × Monthly Price = Gross MRR. From there, subtract Skool's two fees — a transaction percentage (2.9% on Pro, 10% on Hobby) and a flat platform fee ($99/mo on Pro, $9/mo on Hobby) — to get net take-home. Free members don't generate revenue, so use only your paying-member count. The calculator handles the math automatically and pulls live member counts from real Skool communities when you paste a URL above.
Skool's Pricing Plans Explained
| Plan | Monthly Fee | Transaction Fee | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hobby | $9/mo | 10% | Communities under ~$1,267/mo revenue |
| Pro | $99/mo | 2.9% | Communities above ~$1,267/mo revenue |
The break-even point is approximately $1,267/mo in community revenue: below that, Hobby's lower flat fee wins; above, Pro's lower transaction rate compensates for the higher flat fee. Both plans include unlimited members, courses, live calls, and the Skool affiliate program (40% recurring commission). The calculator defaults to Pro since most monetized communities are at or above the break-even threshold.
How to Price a Skool Community
Pricing is the highest-leverage decision for a Skool community owner. Most communities anchor around four tiers, each with a distinct economic profile:
| Tier | Price/mo | Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Mass-market | $9–$29 | Largest member counts; high churn (5-15%/mo); fits hobby/casual interests |
| Sweet spot | $30–$99 | Best ratio of conversion × LTV; most monetized communities sit here |
| Premium | $100–$299 | Skill-acquisition or business outcome focus; smaller, more committed members |
| Mastermind | $300+ | Coaching, networks, high-touch; tens to low-hundreds of members earning $50K-$500K+/mo |
The economics favor higher prices: 100 members at $99/mo ($9,801/mo gross) beats 500 members at $19/mo ($9,500/mo) on revenue, with 5x less churn surface to defend. Higher-priced communities also cover Skool's $99/mo flat platform fee in a single sale. The counter-pressure: higher prices need a clearer outcome promise (skill, network, results) — vague "value-add" pricing tops out around $30-49/mo. Most successful Skool owners start at the sweet spot ($30-99) and migrate up as community proof accumulates.
Most successful communities also offer a yearly plan at ~17% off (the "2 months free" pattern). Yearly subscribers churn less — locked in for 12 months — so even at a discount they typically have higher lifetime value. A typical mix is 20-40% yearly, 60-80% monthly, with higher-priced communities skewing more yearly. The calculator's advanced settings let you model both.
Common Skool Revenue Estimation Mistakes
- Confusing total members with paying members. Skool communities can have free + paid tiers. Free members don't generate revenue. Use only your paying-member count.
- Confusing MRR with cash collected. MRR is the headline number, but actual cash deposits lag it because of refunds (chargebacks within Stripe's window), failed payments, and proration on plan changes. Most communities collect ~90-95% of stated MRR after these settle, depending on price point and audience.
- Forgetting churn. This calculator estimates current monthly recurring revenue. Churn (members who cancel) reduces actual receipts. Most communities lose 5-15% of members per month — sustainable growth requires acquiring more than this rate.
- Overestimating yearly conversion. Yearly subscriptions are higher commitment, so most casual members default to monthly. A 30% yearly mix is realistic for established communities; brand-new communities are usually under 10% yearly.
