Total members mean all members of The Gazette, including those who joined through our pay-it-forward scheme. Paid members are those who pay £2 per month or more.

Monthly member revenue (MMR) is the revenue that we receive on a monthly basis from all paying memberships. MMR is calculated by taking the total number of paying members multiplied by the average billed amount.

Annual recurring revenue (ARR) is a forecast of our annual revenue, calculated by multiplying MMR by 12. It assumes everything stays exactly as is for the rest of the year — no churn, new customers, or expansion.

Average revenue per user (ARPU) is calculated by dividing our MMR by our number of paying members. ARPU is calculated monthly and gives us an idea of how much the average member spends.

We are not-for-profit, so every penny is reinvested back into The Gazette. Here is an idea of where your money goes:

500 members contributing £4/month = one full-time salary at the Real Living Wage

To be fully funded by members, we would need:

2,000 members contributing £4/month = fully funded by members with three paid staff members at the Real Living Wage (includes overheads)

Our funding mostly comes from membership contributions and grants, with a tiny amount coming from sponsorships, services, donations and our shop.

Absolutely. You can buy merch or donate.
